Net neutrality is critically important, but the only way to get it is through aggressive antitrust legislation, not FCC regulation. NBC and Comcast and Fox and Microsoft have absolutely no business owning the fiber that connects my house to the Internet. There is always a problem when the same company owns both creative content and distribution (e.g. Hollywood films, RIAA).

We all hate Comcast, but we should applaud this ruling. Anything that makes it harder for the cocksuckers at the FCC to censor Internet content (on the premise of protecting studio and record company copyrights) is a good thing. Make no mistake, the FCC wants to deliver complete control of the Internet to huge media conglomerates and bring all those little Lost-watching lambs back into the fold.

Can you please explain this is terms my small brain can understand? I am interested,...but I don't follow because I am not familiar with all of the terminology. Thx.

Sure thing, wiseass. And where do you get your internet? Are you so sure it's better?

While I have no great love for the FCC (I'm still pretty pissed about how they let the Dems get screwed over in each successive presidential election), I'm glad that the government seems to be set on halting the antics of the ISPs throttling bandwidth to services or sites they don't personally benefit from.

And I had no idea until reading that article that the "Kabletown" references they were making on 30 Rock were actually real. (Yet another reason for me to continue downloading the shows I like and stay away from cable television.)

I get my internet from Clear. But nonetheless, I sometimes wonder if my access is limited by my ISP...

Also, I'm just sayin', Comcast is really notorious for throttling bandwidth. Like a lot. Oh well.

@5: But how long till Comcast goes "oh, you have our internet but not our cable television? Well, no online video for you!" I can't wait till I have to pay $5.99 a month for the "internet video" package so I can access YouTube and Hulu. Or $12.99 a month for the "Torrent package."

Just in case anyone has a few left over charity $s I'm sure they could use them here.

@7: To me, it only seems a logical extension of what they do for cable TV, and I'm sure they would if they could get away with it. The "package" system they use for cable is reason #1 why I don't have cable television. I don't want to pay for sixteen other channels I don't want (and will only make surfing that much more intolerable) just to get a channel or two that I'll actually watch.
