One Frightening Chart Shows What You Might Pay For Internet Once Net Neutrality Is Gone

[hunter]

48. I'm paying for bandwidth. DU is paying for bandwidth. Google is paying for bandwidth.

There is no fucking reason at all that these fucking telcos and cable companies shouldn't be common carriers treating all traffic equally.

Boo hoo, so their "traditional" business model of making us pay for sewage and other stuff we don't want in package deals doesn't fit the internet,... Adapt or die, isn't that what these corporate fucks are telling ordinary working class people to do? How about the giant corporations adapt or die for a change??? And maybe some of them need to be killed or nationalized. Corporations are not people. Forget a "fair trial" for them, it's a political question. If their activities are harmful to the common good, give them the ax. (Quite a few of our corporate "leaders" actually do deserve criminal trials...)

Frankly, I'd like to see a national free wireless network, and requirements that broadcast television and radio have no more than 7 minutes of syndicated content (including commercials) every hour, so that every radio and television station becomes a local station. Kick Rush Limbaugh and all his ilk out onto the internet or satellites where they have to compete with everyone else on an equal footing.

Frankly the cable and telcos are insane to push for this, not because they should fear the "consumer" or our pudding-willed and corrupt "representatives," what they should fear instead is assimilation by the Borg Google. That's a war that would destroy everything.
