FCC Republicans Ajit Pai and Michael O'Rielly sent a letter to five lobby groups representing wireless carriers and small ISPs; while the letter is mostly about plans to extend an exemption for small providers from certain disclosure requirements, the commissioners also said they will tackle the entire net neutrality order shortly after President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20.

>"[W]e will seek to revisit [the disclosure] requirements, and the Title II Net Neutrality proceeding more broadly, as soon as possible," they wrote, referring to the order that imposed net neutrality rules and reclassified ISPs as common carriers under Title II of the Communications Act. Pai and O'Rielly noted that they "dissented from the Commission's February 2015 Net Neutrality decision, including the Order's imposition of unnecessary and unjustified burdens on providers."

>Pai and O'Rielly will have a 2-1 Republican majority on the FCC after the departure of Democratic Chairman Tom Wheeler on January 20. Pai previously said that the Title II net neutrality order's "days are numbered" under Trump, while O'Rielly said he intends to "undo harmful policies" such as the Title II reclassification.

Let me ask you something OP.

Have you taken into consideration why they want to end net neutrality?


I personally think it wouldn't be such a bad thing if there were more ISP providers that had to compete with each other.

That said, even in the current situation I'm not worried in the slightest.
If there was an actual serious threat to how the internet functioned you can expect important people to start yelling about it.

Net Neutrality was a reaction to flagrant abuses by ISPs in the early days of the internet. Things were not "fine" without NN, things were terrible, with competitive companies being forced out of business by megacorporations looking to make the most money possible.

They didn't get forced out by competition, they got forced out by practices now illegal because they were uncompetitive.

There was a company offering 5MBps internet service in 1992. They were bought out by Bell South because Bell South owned the lines and forced them to pay massive amounts of money to move their data along the lines, to the point they couldn't make a profit.
Bell South then ceased their high speed service in favor of more Dial Up.

This is now illegal, because of Net Neutrality, because megacorporations don't have to be competitive when they can just throw money a at a problem until it goes away.

>>
>>58654930
You're retarded, I bet you think Time Warner Cable making Netflix pay them a fee to stop throttling their streaming service was fine and dandy.
Same shit happened there, they were charging exorbitant prices to use the lines specifically designed to make it unprofitable, and it worked. It's now illegal to do specifically that, you can't show bias against specific data, all data has to be treated equally. Bell South was being biased, they were part of the reason Net Neutrality even came into being.

>>58654946
Except it happened and still happens. Netflix three years ago. A lot of shit is technically illegal but corporations get away with it. Like Comcast making it illegal for new ISPs to open up in many cities they are present in.
Your history books are irrelevant if you don't learn from them, laws aren't worth the paper they're printed on if you don't enforce them.

American ISPs do not obey the laws Teddy, my favorite president, put forth. They've successfully lobbied the US into a position where they have us by the balls. Net Neutrality is the only thing keeping AT&T from making me pay an extra 40 a month to access 4chan.

I'd love a world where the US doesn't need net neutrality. But we do, desperately. We're not Poland, we're the US.
I can choose from AT&T and Charter. Those are literally my only two providers, and I'm lucky enough to be able to choose two. Most of the neighboring cities can only choose between AT&T or Charter, not both. Or you know, DSL, but who the fuck still wants DSL?

>>
>>58655117
What are you implying here?

If it's a cheap shot at Obama, okay, fine, but I never liked Obama. And either way it's beside the point. Net Neutrality is one of the only things we as a consumer have left. I'd like to believe that we will maintain the status quo at least but Republicans now control Congress and the Presidency and it's Republicans that want to get rid of Net Neutrality.
I am thrilled Republicans are in control instead of Democrats, but that doesn't mean I want consumer rights to be repealed for no benefit to myself.
That's really what it comes down to for me, what do I gain from repealing Net Neutrality? I can think of a lot of things I lose but nothing I gain, and the price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

Now more than ever is it worth contacting your representative. Net Neutrality is not a concrete thing at all, but we could make it so. Trump says he's ant establishment, I supported him because of it, now I want to see him do anti establishment things.
Like concrete internet rights.

Maybe he just ignores NN entirely, well that would leave us now in the same state, which isn't a bad state per say, but it's not a safeguard against the future, and I don't think Comcast is going to stop lobbying for the right to charge people whatever they want for 2mbps anytime soon.

You give an inch they take a mile, they've done it to the internet, they've done it for guns, they've done it for copyright. I say now's the best time we've had in 30 years to fight back, to make them give an inch and us take a mile. Trump's already pledged to kill TPP, let's kill the AWB and Throttling while we're at it.
>>
>>58655143
It's not about arguing, it's about making people think. It's about educating people.
You can't change someone's opinion, on you can change your own opinion and people rarely leave their bubble.
I get that leftists are using this net neutrality scare to rile up anti Trump sentiment but the more people they educate about net neutrality the better. It's nothing but good for us as consumers, and the fact anyone is willing to get rid of it means they're either simply uneducated on the subject or a paid advocate. The only people getting rid of net neutrality is good for is the ISP CEOs and their shareholders. It's a net loss for everyone else.

We've got a real chance assuming Trump isn't full of shit to actually get back consumer rights in this country. They've been on a slow slide for decades now, and that anyone would want to continue to see them degrade for ANY reason is inexcusable.
>>
>>58654599
>Have you taken into consideration why they want to end net neutrality?

That has nothing to do with net neutrality. What you will see is less online services able to compete with each other.

I see this confusion again and again. Nobody who actually understands net neutrality is against it, except for those who will profit from it.
>>
>>58655259
You have to think in the first place, why is net neutrality necessary to stop the things you perceive to be wrong with the current ISP market? What would regulating the industry do but raise the barrier for entry for potential competitors? You need to be thinking of reducing regulations that harm business, not creating more.

NET NEUTRALITY DOES NOT HARM NEW COMPANIES

It's the only thing keeping big ISPs from forcing them out in the first place! You just don't understand what net neutrality is do you? Please, explain to me what net neutrality does to harm ISPs in any way except to prevent them from gouging you from every spare cent in your wallet??/?

Jesus fucking CHRIST, you are the EXACT kind of sucker they've sold this to. Net Neutrality ISN'T REGULATIONS. It's restrictions that keep companies from being able to throttle bandwidth to sites they don't want you to access. You've swallowed their spiel hook line and sinker. They're LYING to you. Net Neutrality "hurts" their business because it keeps them from snuffing out their competitors in the crib. Consider why you have to pay five times as much money a month for internet speeds ten times slower than in Poland.

There's absolutely nothing bad about Net Neutrality for you as a consumer. Literally nothing, and getting rid of it would not encourage new ISPs in the slightest. It would only further the monopolies of the big 5.
>>
>>58655412
>restrictions
LITERALLY REGULATIONS you douchebag
>>
>>58655130
At least we can agree on that.
>>
>>58655432
Regulations that protect both you and new ISPs, you're implying they're harmful, restrictive things. They're anything but.
They are rules that came into being because of how big companies monopolized the FUCK out of the US, and got us into this situation in the first place. They are the only reason you have access to two shitty providers instead of one, although I say that as a guess, because the vast majority of America only has access to one high speed provider.
I cannot stress enough how important net neutrality is. If we lose it, we fucking lose. If you had the choice between 5-6 different ISPs like in Poland or South Korea or Norway we wouldn't need Net Neutrality, but hit is the USA. Big companies already killed most of the competition, unless you want the government to forcibly break up companies like Comcast (a wet dream of mine, ohhhh such a beautiful dream) into a bunch of smaller companies then we absolutely NEED net neutrality.

Competition can only arise in competitive environments. Net Neutrality is the last thing making ISPs competitive.

What in the fuck man. Do you even know what you're talking about? Please, stop quoting Economics 101 here, this is the real world, not your college class room. WE DON'T HAVE COMPETITION!
COMCAST HAS LITERALLY MADE COMPETITION ILLEGAL IN SEVERAL CITIES.

EXPLAIN TO ME HOW, HOW, GETTING RID OF NET NEUTRALITY WILL MAKE COMPETITION GO UP BY ITSELF??:??

PLEASE
You're just spouting the same fucking talking points they tried to sell us on. But it's a fucking lie, how does getting rid of NN encourage competition? Regulation can be pretty damn good sometimes, like that regulation that keeps companies from hiring thugs to beat up protesting workers, or those regulations that make it illegal for Charter to cut off my internet if I browse AT&T Internet Packages.

I cannot stress this enough, you do not know what net neutrality is. You've drank their koolaid.

Buddy if you didn't have an actual argument you could have stopped here. I fucking love my country, that's why I don't want to give corporations more power than they've already had.

Actually look into this stuff, it's not capitalism what they're doing. I'm a rabid capitalist, but I cannot fucking support the corporate greed going on right now. I promise you, this isn't some government boogeyman, this is corporations trying to take your rights away. They've already succeeded in a ton of areas, and they will continue to as long as people like you put their fingers in your ears and shout la la la.
>>
>>58655777
Corporations literally cannot take rights away. Only government can do that. If a corporation has a monopoly somewhere, it means that a government is backing it up. It's called corruption. Literally take it to an appeals court. The EFF probably has lawyers that will do it pro-bono if you ask them.

>Net neutrality can't exist. There's a reason why companies pay mega bucks for better servers to gain an advantage over competitors. Is the solution to this to start socialising server access?
But my favourite argument is that it's not fucking necessary. This is the same thing Gary Becker said. ISPs are doing fine and growth is occuring. You can't fucking jump to regulation with this huge lack of compelling examples of requiring net neutrality. Comcast throttled P2P this time... Okay? Let's fuck up everything now with regulation?

It all sounds good, oh if we deregulate that'll just encourage more businesses! Well, you'll be hard pressed to find an American example where deregulation led to increased competition. All it's done historically is led to increased corporate profits.

I'm saying we can't have the government run everything; there are too many drains on the system for that work. As for network throttling, you repeal any laws that are preventing more ISPs to be in the area, and the company will die as its customers migrate to someone who doesn't do that.

Yes but nobody here is advocating for the government to control the internet, so I again fail to understand your argument.
And either way, it's not like the US hasn't done the exact same thing in the past on an even larger scale. In the early 2000s the US Government wrote a check totaling billions of dollars to major ISPs to improve the internet infrastructure.

Unsurprisingly, they didn't actually use most of it to modernize and the infrastructure remained equally poor, which is why the US went from offering similar internet speeds to the rest of the world to falling behind compared to pretty much all of Europe except Ukraine and Russia.

I'm hardly a fan of Google, and it's definitely worrying that any one group has a bunch of power over the internet, but what exactly is "a protect the Google business model scheme" and why is that a bad thing?

Google gets its money by people browsing the world wide web. Among other things, but that's one of their chief sources of revenue. It's why they, alone with basically all other internet search services, are pro net neutrality as throttling is potential lost money for them.
So yes, Goggle did it for their benefit, but benefit to them is a free internet anyone can use to access whatever they want. What about that is bad for me?

no its not. instead of talking nonsense about things you dont understand on the internet, go read a book on actual fascism, ideally written by actual fascists, and then go read their political opponents writings on them.

nobody is going to listen to what you say if you cant properly articulate the things you say.

Sentient shit, and it isn't just 4chan that's been affected, post quality everywhere has been dive bombing. If you think 4chan is bad, you should look at some of the mainstream subreddits on reddit. Despite all the shit they got for being a circlejerk, post quality there a couple years ago was pretty decent and was higher than it is here currently. Now post quality there is significantly worse than here and is approaching youtube comments tier.

yes and no, its really a question of maintaining a certain culture and remaining relatively unknown. this is why smaller chans tend not to deviate from their original culture at quite the same rate as 4chan.
>>
>>58656681
4chan always attracted the "wrong" kind of people. That was the point.
But it was a small community and when you're small you get to know everyone, if not by name them by posting style. It wasn't so much conformity as it was just a lack of things to conform to, except the board topic. That's all changed quite a lot. Some boards are barely even about their intended topic, like /v/. /v/ isn't about video games themselves, it's about (you)s and video game politics.

I dunno where else to go. 4chan I mean, there's no site quite like it, but then, 4chan isn't really 4chan anymore except in the deep dark recesses of boards that have 3 posts per hour.
>>
>>58656629

I dropped 4chan about 2 years ago (I'm hanging out here to check out the /ptg/ thread on this board). Like you I had a hard time conceiving of an internet experience without 4chan, it was basically my only form of leisure between the years of 2007 and 2014. But now I can honestly say I don't miss it at all. It was nothing but a time sink and I don't think I ever benefited in any way from being here, beyond the momentary entertainment of posting.

Looking through this thread and seeing people drool over ending net neutrality just because that's Trump's position, only cements in my mind that I made the right choice. There was a time when 4chan understood what net neutrality was and why it was important. All it took to dismantle that was a Milhouse level forced meme entering the white house.

I guess it can't be helped.
>>
>>58656807
This. The next fastest imageboard is 8ch, and politics being shoved into absolutely everything is an even bigger problem there. Other general purpose imageboards end up being much slower than 8ch and being mostly populated by a similar crowd (for example, endchan's top boards are another /pol/ and a dedicated gamergate board). After that you just get into niche imageboards where /g/ gets more posts in a couple hours than all boards on the site get in a week.

Keep up the good fight OP. While idiot drump cultists will lick and kiss anything he does, the reality is the fact that his cabinet is bent on destroying costumer protections and benefits. Currently we are lucky to still have a relatively open, unhindered free Internet--the same that allows memaym morons to post their drivel. However, without net neutrality we will now be subject to arbitrary throttling and restriction of web content for as demanded by profits. If we are to believe that some small, independent site is to enjoy same access and exposure as some mainstream, giant powerhouse--as we must internet a free internet--then we must protect net neutrality.

This is going to sound cliche, but I got a job, a girlfriend and hobbies outside of the internet.

I was kind of a shut-in until I graduated college in 2014. That's when I decided to make a change, and getting off 4chan was one of them.

I sometimes post on [spoiler]Reddit[/spoiler], although I already had an account there before deciding to leave 4chan. They've got their own set of problems, as you know. I'm kind of fed up with the culture there too, for different reasons.

Other than that I'm on a couple-three niche web forums that you probably wouldn't care about. Mostly stuff for hobbyist writers.

>>58657839
What's particularly misleading about the healthcare chart is that it could be indicating that people who were previously avoiding healthcare are now paying for it. Another possible factor is that ACA requires a decent amount of coverage. Previously people who had health insurance could get a bare-bones plan that only covered freak accidents and left you with very little else like regular doctor visits and shit like that. ACA requires those "extra" things. It also requires both sexes pay for medical procedures even if they do not necessarily apply to their sex.

Overall ACA does cost a bit more to the individual but the individual also gets better coverage and insurance companies cannot just drop you when you become too expensive to cover.

This is the problem with the world. The vast majority of people STILL don't understand that net neutrality is a good thing. They're trying to hear both sides of the argument. This kind of abject stupidity is what got Trump elected in the first place.
For example...
Hey anon, you breathe better if you stick your head underwater. No I swear, we all have gills now. You gota keep it under there for a couple of minutes for your gills to kick in.

How is keeping NN a bad thing? When you have media conglomerate ISP monopolies you need to keep them in check. Unfortunately "muh free of regulations" doesn't apply in this case because of the monopoly situation which isn't going away.
>>
>>58657931
I can tell you're a teenager. Anyone who has health insurance through their work or doesn't qualify for Obamacare does not get better coverage, they're literally getting worse coverage at higher prices. Also Obamacare has tiers bronze silver and gold. Your shit coverage freak accident coverage IS part of Obama care.
>>
>>58658009
Yeah don't listen to that guy, not sure what he's on about. He is right that the vast majority of supporters of getting rid of NN simply don't know anything about it though.
Like you, you had no real idea what NN did before you entered this thread right? And now you do, and of course like a logical and intelligent human being you support NN.

But he's a dumbass for thinking ignorance is stupidity. Ignorance is just not knowing, I was ignorant about NN a couple years ago. Then I read the "Net Neutrality is Obamacare for the Internet" tweet and had to figure out exactly what it was.
I can't fathom the ignorance that went into that tweet, it borders on insanity.

Glad you've seen the light though. Spread the word. This isn't a political stance, it's a consumer right stance. Net Neutrality is a bipartisan effort everyone should support.
>>
>>58658020
When you realize that the people who are against this are people with a vested financial interest in seeing NN go away and people who think the free market can do no wrong and any sort of regulation is a sin against ̶A̶l̶l̶a̶h̶ the free market it makes a lot more sense.

I think it mainly depends on the individual but also where they live and work at. Young healthy people get high as fuck rates while people who are already sick or older only have slightly higher rates. IIRC there was supposed to be a statewide expansion of medicaid to cover people who couldn't afford the new rates but "red" states all opted out of it.

Ah yes, I see now. A regulation that says "You're not allowed to dump toxic waste in the river" will surely harm the modern clean-sheet factory more than the one that was outright designed around dumping waste in the river.

Even fucking Hayek recognized that regulations are necessary.

"Regulations" are not a monolithic entity. "You can't merge if said merger would create a monopoly or duopoly situation in the market" would be a regulation. By definition, it couldn't result in a monopoly or duopoly arising.

This stupid "all regulations are harmful" canard should've been regulated out of existence long ago.

PART 1
Hello Senator Bill Nelson I am a computer science major studding at the University of Central Florida. I'm writing you because of this article I read on Arstechnica's website. It talks about some troubling letters written by Ajit Pai and Michael O'Rielly two of the chairs on the FCC's board. In this letter they say "[W]e will seek to revisit [the disclosure] requirements, and the Title II Net Neutrality proceeding more broadly, as soon as possible,". To me this sound like they want to undo all the work that Progressives like me have been fighting for. A free and fair internet. Thees rules include provision so that Internet Service Providers (ISP) can't charge websites like Netflix or YouTube for bandwidth they use. As it stands now this charge would have to be negotiated with Netflix's ISP and then Netflix's ISP would then be able to raise prices for Netflix. Dismantling thees rules would allow ISPs to charge individual companies for faster bandwidth and would allow them to slow down websites that don't pay thees fees. If we keep going down this slippery slope we could end up where ISPs can charge the individual consumer for access to websites. Where someone like you or me would have to pay 100$ for Facebook YouTube and Netflix and then be charged an additional 5$ for any additional website we might want to visit like a cable subscription.
>>
>>58654490
I don't get what is your issue. Your country is gigafucked by ISPs, why don't you want to change it
>>
>>58654490
You're not entitled to unlimited bandwidth at low cost you fucking child, get the he'll over it.

>>58663963

>>
>>58664049
I really thought that, at least as far as 4chan is concerned, it was ironic and self-aware.
>>
>>58664060 (You)
Part 2
I fear that small businesses wont be able to pay thees new charges and wont get the traffic they need to sustain and already built businesses might have to close there virtual doors because something they used to see as accessible is now just out of reach. Thees charges would be OK If people could chose the ISP they want but as we all have probably experienced when choosing a ISP we don't always have many choices and sometimes we only have one ISP. We need to regulate thees Monopolies to make sure they don't become predatory destroying the very thing they are supposed to be stewards to. Overturning thees rulings would be regressive and I just needed to write to you to hopefully shed some light on this topic so that you can be more informed and vote in the peoples best interest. Thanks for your time I tried to link the Arstechnica article but your website doesn't allow links.

This. Traditional 4chan culture has always been one of irreverence and detachment from mainstream politics. This place was actually a vocally anti-Bush website back between 03 and 08 so I wonder what happened between then and now and made the alt-right cuckings such a presence here. I'll still give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that it's all tongue-in-cheek fanaticism, but i'm starting to have my doubts.

Here are the hints:
1. A faction which if full of money will pay for it.
2. A faction which Trump can't publicly or officially associate himself with.
3. A faction which is proven and known to be manipulated and supplied by the CIA.
4. A faction in whose interest it is to have Mexicans stay in Mexico.
5. A faction which still hasn't been wiped out and still rules most of Mexico.

Try to assume now who will gladly pay and help.

>are you niggers seriously approving of this for the sole reason that the measure is from Trump?

Yes. Because for some reason nobody gave a shit about anything for the past 2 decades of presidents when they did stupid shit, especially Obama. But now that Trump is here, everyone is all of a sudden paying attention to the same shit Obama did yet which nobody cared to whine about at the time.
