>The plan is Mr. Pai’s most forceful action in his race to roll back rules that govern telecommunications, cable and broadcasting companies, which he says are harmful to business. But he is certain to face a contentious battle with the consumers and tech companies that rallied around the existing rules, which are meant to prevent broadband providers like AT&T and Comcast from giving special treatment to any streaming videos, news sites and other content.

>“Two years ago, I warned that we were making a serious mistake,” Mr. Pai said at the Newseum in Washington, where he laid out the plan in a speech. “It’s basic economics. The more heavily you regulate something, the less of it you’re likely to get.”

>His plan, though still vague on the details, is a sharp change from the approach taken by the last F.C.C. administration, which approved rules governing a concept known as net neutrality in 2015. The rules were intended to ensure an open internet, meaning that no content could be blocked by broadband providers and that the internet would not be divided into pay-to-play fast lanes for internet and media companies that can afford it and slow lanes for everyone else.

I have been watching this from afar going on in the US and it has been fascinating watching it progress from, "don't kill a neutral internet that gave birth to all the pioneering websites we all love" to vultures that manufactured a bogeyman story of, "ebil gubmint is coming to regulate errything! be afraid! be afraid! you know regulations must be bad!".

It's laughable how easy it is to convince people of that which is against their interests.
>>
>>60118369
They do enhance services and if you are competing against them you have an unfair disadvantage. Its bad for the free market.

For example, Tmobile had a deal going where Netflix traffic wouldnt count against subscribers data cap but every other service does. Now imagine you are running Underdog Netflix Competitor Inc. You have better programming, better customer service, better technology, and cheaper rates. Your service is better in every possible way. However, you will be at a significant disadvantage with Tmobile subscribers because your service actually costs prohibitively more to them. Now imagine the same effect exploded across every ISP and every online service industry.

Eliminating net neutrality lets large companies directly pay ISPs to disadvantage their competitors WITHOUT having to actually innovate or improve their service. Its bad for consumers, bad for entrepeneurs, bad for innovators. Its good for large companies with deep pockets - they can simply pay to stay on top.

He is profiting directly from his position, members of his cabinet are under investigation for criminal behavior, he is apparently retarded (he watches TV all day and demands that his national security briefings include fewer words and more pictures), he is literally hiring his direct family members, hired more lobbyists directly into the federal government that anyone ever, the list goes on and on.

Europe's net neutrality rules are so fucked, this is still possible. "All packets need to be treated equal". The only thing they have to do is slow down Netflix as well if the user has reached their data cap. But they can let Netflix traffic not count towards the data cap. Giving them a significant advantage over potential new competitors; exactly what net neutrality was supposed to prevent.
>>
This is actually a good thing.

>Number one there was no problem to solve, the internet wasn’t broken in 2015. In that situation, it doesn’t seem me that preemptive market-wide regulation is necessary. Number two, even if there was a problem, this wasn’t the right solution to adopt. These Title II regulations were inspired during the Great Depression to regulate Ma Bell which was a telephone monopoly. And the broadband market we have is very different from the telephone market of 1934. So, it seems to me that if you have 4,462 internet service providers and if a few of them are behaving in a way that is anticompetitive or otherwise bad for consumer welfare then you take targeted action to deal with that. You don’t declare the entire market anticompetitive and treat everyone as if they are a monopolist.

>Going forward we are going to propose eliminating that Title II classification and figure out the right way forward. The bottom line is, everyone agrees on the principles of a free and open internet what we disagree with is how many regulations are needed to preserve the internet.

This is bad why?

The reason the monopolies liked net neutrality is that the regulatory compliance killed upstart disruptive competitors. It's the same reason Amazon supports the internet sales tax.

>Mainly because of gov't subsidizes
Not really.
ISPs built the infrastructure through the profits they got from providing internet/cable connections.

They got a little money from the government, yes.
You know what would have helped them far better than a few government subsidies?

Giving them gigantic tax cuts and cutting government spending so the price of capital goods decreases. They would have been able to provide more infrastructure if copper and fiber was cheaper.

I mean look at this shit, this is the price of copper, in a free market, the price would constantly come down. Thanks to government/federal reserve/government spending the price has stagnated and then increased like crazy.

>We want a free market where companies like google can compete with these companies.

They already tried and failed.

They didn't even have to bother with free market:

In Kansas City and Austin, local governments wanted Google Fiber more than they wanted kickbacks. So they expedited the permitting process, gave Google rights-of-way access for little to no cost, and allowed Google to build-out selectively — i.e., in neighborhoods where consumers actually expressed demand.
>>
>>60120251

Whereas free market Comcast, TWC, ATT, etc have to pay big costs for rights of way, and had to provide ALL neighborhoods, not just the rich ones.

>>60120217

I'm OK with giving telecoms unlimited power over my connection to the internet. Yes, I'm okay with tiered internet service. To be honest, the huge gripe I have with net neutrality is that I can't kick the poorshits out of the areas I browse. I think to myself, "wow /g/ would be great if poorshits couldn't make a dozen threads espousing the virtues of buying used Thinkpads". I mean, what the actual fuck, buying something USED? My gated community evicts people from their homes, and forces them to sell if they try to pull some shit like a GARAGE SALE. Anyone else disturbed by the amount of poorshits bringing us all down? There would be superior threads on this board because all the poorshits wouldn't be able to plague us with their poorthink.
>>
>>60120917

Furthermore, I think the internet should become a gated community. A credit check, or, no, even better! I think an income verification process should gatekeep people out of the internet. I don't think poorshits really need the internet for their job at McDonalds, right? They're slowing it down for everyone else by endlessly downloading terabytes of child porn/"anime".

Do you even understand how backhaul providers like Level 3 Communications, Cogent and Hurricane Electric work.

They lay fiber between large data centers and massive businesses and sell their connections in number of ports at a speed.

Unlimited unrestricted amount of transfer no caps you only pay for the speed of the connection you need

You sink into the entire argument of the last mile and who controls it and then who monopolizes is infrastructure does cost money and that should be part of the price the end consumer is paying but we already paid for these network upgrades in the 1996 Telecommunication Act with massive tax incentives for ISP's to upgrade their infrastructure and last mile. You know what they did with it? They took the money and just bought each other.

If we would have regulate these entities like a utility from the beginning we would all at minimum fiber to the POP box on the street and everyone would have so much bandwidth the only fight would be what service are you going to run over your fiber much like the cord cutting going on now

You fucked up, you failed to meet your contracted data throughput you need to buy more throughput and you reimburse the end users for the throughput you were not able to provide that caused them either a business loss or violated your contract

In my business we laser cut metal, when the power goes out the Public Utility is held liable to a SLA as to how fast they get the power back on or they pay you for the down time. We received a $10k check for 6 hours of lost productivity

Now the costs rise for everyone because the host has to pay for more bandwidth, which would not have been used if the customers were under a cap model. Sounds like a great plan!

>>60122033
If I use more power, then my power bill goes up. There is an incentive for me to conserve my energy use. There is no incentive for customers to conserve their data transfer in your scenario. You'll have a bunch of retards who run their seedbox 24/7 forcing you to purchase more bandwidth and passing on the cost to every customer.
>>
>>60121983

You have insurance and a profit margin for when shit hits the fan your insurance helps cover the expenses as you add more customers you buy more throughput. You make additional profit installing customers infrastructure 1 time connection and build out fees offering but not requiring hardware leases. Its still a fucking business you don't just provide internet in a vacuum. Running in this business model still results in the end user paying substantially less for their internet requirements
>>
>>60122089
No you don't. There is no incentive for users to limit their usage. Many will max it out for no reason, giving little value but increasing your costs.
>>
>>60122059
>>60122108

Network bandwidth is not something with a physical generation cost your cost centers are the hardware and cabling. Bandwidth is not finite hardware and cabling is if you have a single fiber strand running into your house it can provide more bandwidth than you could possibly use. Comparing bandwidth to power or water or packages is only a loose analogy
>>
>>60122147
Then why don't hosts offer unlimited bandwidth then?
>>
>>60122177

Because that would require a infrastructure upgrade of either technology or physical cabling to fiber they received over $200 Billion in tax breaks to upgrade their network to be able to provide this and they never did

Half the people in that store started asking why they get charged $10 for going a gigabyte over.

They never data capped on relatively shit residential network infrastructure in the past. All the sudden it becomes a thing because they realized they can make more money from their subscribers

Even if they wanted to blame their infrastructure for the non existent strain customers put on it then it is not the consumer's fault it's total shit. It's embarrassing, the speeds and service you get in large US cities these days all because there is no incentive to bring infrastructure into the modern age.

>you don't need it because I said so even though I can't name a single thing that is fully functioning without the internet today

do you turn on your TV? guess how your ISP runs your TV subscription.
>>
>>60130615
fine by me, as previously mentioned I use the internet a fuck ton and I've never even used 50% of my allotted amount. this entire pro-NN outrage brigade is fighting made up hypothetical scenarios that don't exist in daily life

>>60130628
OTA antenna gets me all the tv I need

keep sucking that corporate dick.


>OTA antenna gets me all the tv I need
hahaha wow you're fucking hilarious, this is the level of delusion

>yea I don't need TV I have my HAM radio!

The water company doesn't even check my meter anymore, the meter has access to the internet and they check it remotely. Same thing with my gas and electric, no one shows up any more to check the meter they automatically know because they use the internet to run their shit.

Hell I can't even sign up for a news paper without going to the website and filling out their online form. I can't even submit a paper resume for many jobs anymore I have to go online. You can't even fill out SNAP benefits in my state anymore you have to sign up online.

Why tf are we discussing data caps? That's not the issue here. Data caps are perfectly acceptable with or without net neutrality. What net neutrality prevents is having to pay more to access some sites than others, or being throttled to piss poor speed on some sites while letting other (paying) sites use the actual bandwidth you bought.

This is all just a big money grab for the ISPs. They want us to pay for bandwidth we can only use with some sites. Then they want those sites to pay them to let you use the bandwidth you pay for. They also want to make more people use their own shitty streaming services by making the competition slower, rather than by making their own services good enough to compete.

Every dictator to exist was a leftist, not a single right wing dictator has existed. Net neutrality is a symbol of government tyranny, pai represents freedom.
>>
>>60117215
>The plan is Mr. Pai’s most forceful action in his race to roll back rules that govern telecommunications
>The rules were intended to ensure an open internet, meaning that no content could be blocked by broadband providers and that the internet would not be divided into pay-to-play fast lanes for internet and media companies that can afford it and slow lanes for everyone else.
Is this something to be worried about?
Yes.

It's hard to take anything you type seriously when you don't include punctuation. It makes reading your arguments painful.

If you want to convince people of something, at least don't type like a complete fucking retard.

maybe you should call everyone you disagree with racist for the next 4 years. that'll surely work this time

Cable companies have to pay to be able to provide certain channels. They do not have to pay extra to get a link to a certain website

>>
>>60130688
Strawman. And it doesn't matter what services I choose to purchase or not purchase. If I want to pay $10 a month for Youtube Music, it should work if my connection has enough bandwidth.

Without net neutrality, my ISP could make Youtube Music so laggy as to be unusable, to force me to pay them $15/month for their shittier streaming service with less selection.
>>
>>60130718
No. You want to oppress us with more big government. True freedom is the freedom from government.
>>
>>60130752
no they can't because that is anti-competitive behavior THAT IS ALREADY ILLEGAL

>>60117597
>The net neutrality rules that Obama made were not in effect yet so it's just the same as before.

They've been in effect for almost two years.

Freedom for who? Not you, that's for sure. This is about protecting large ISPs' freedom to fuck you over.

>>60130715
And without net neutrality, they now have no incentive not to charge you extra for access to certain websites. Even if it costs them nothing more to give you access, why wouldn't they want to charge you extra?
>>
>>60130752
More leftist lies.

Really? How do they get away with it on cable TV? How is it more illegal to offer a basic cable package with only some channels, than to offer a basic internet package with only some sites?
>>
>>60130890
those aren't the same thing you idiot
>>
>>60130852
My shill playbook tells me when a thread goes this long I'm just supposed to call people names.
>>
>>60130900
How? On one hand we have a cable company offering a basic package that contains a limited selection. On the other, we have an ISP offering a basic package that contains a limited selection.

individual websites don't have contractual obligations with the provider like tv channels do. these are two completely different arenas, and until you're able to understand that you're not doing your side any help you ignorant moron

>>60130830
Yes. Take the bank crisis for instance. We gave the banks more freedom and less regulation. In return they gave us loans we couldn't afford and then came begging to congress when they had so much bad debt they were about to collapse.

That's their fault and it's the government's fault for bailing them out.
>>
>>60129010
>implying those corrupt neocon puppets don't hate the living shit out of Trump
>>
>>60130992
How does that affect the legality of offering a basic package that gives unlimited access to some sites -- ones that sign a contract and pay money -- and slow limited access to others?

Of course it won't start off like this. It'll start with prioritizing streaming data from Netflix and Youtube, and charging those sites for that prioritization. Then they can fail to upgrade their network quickly as usage of those sites grows. Slowly their inaction will result in more prioritized paid data going through, and de-prioritized data being choked to a crawl. If you want to start a new streaming site at that point, you'll have to pay the ISPs or have potato quality streams.
>>
>>60131023
And what would have happened if the government hadn't bailed them out? They are truly big enough that it would have likely caused a depression.

The regulations we removed prevented these sorts of abuses. And after the crisis we put regulations in place to prevent it from happening again -- regulations that are now being repealed.

Think about who controls what these banks did, and their incentives. Executives did, and it looked damn good to the shareholders. It made for huge quarterly gains. Then when the shit hit the fan, the execs took their bonuses and ran. Those responsible for doing things like this have every incentive to do them if allowed to, so long as it results in short term gains. They'll be leaving if they're not already long gone when the bad long term consequences come.

>>60117215
The way the (((leftists))) explained it to me before it sounded like big government was going to make it so big (((ISP))) was going to ruin my internet. Now I see they lied and they were trying to make the internet socialist.
This man is in Trumps Government.
If Trump says it's good for us then it's good for us!

Lol do the alt-righters think the ISP's are run by White Anglo-Saxon Protestants or something?
Haha god I love what Trumps alt-right reactionary movement to SJW's has done.
Net Neutrality has become a leftist jewish plot!

True freedom at last! I'll be able to broadcast on any frequency I like at any power I like. Fuck your mobile phone, I'll be blasting out memes 24/7 on 1900 MHz from now on. You wanted to watch some TV? Sorry, I'm busy testing high power random noise generators on those frequencies.

It's already illegal because it's anti competition you lying libcuck.

>>60132957
Okay, redpill me. What exactly does this allow ISPs to do? I thought it would let companies like Netflix pay ISPs to prioritize their data.
>>
>>60133055
>Antitrust would get involved if ISPs diluted the competitive process that prevents them from, in Professor Wu’s examples, fa- voring one set of speakers, news sources, and sports teams. Were ISPs to agree to boycott certain political content, to allocate vari- ous forms of content exclusively between them, or otherwise to col- lude with anticompetitive effect, for example, antitrust would hold them liable.
https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/public_statements/1054963/ohlhausen_cotechjournal.pdf
>>
>>60133264
What about if they merely allowed sites to pay them to prioritize traffic for their site?
>>
>>60133334
that would probly "dilute competitive process" since it would compete less, now if a bunch of "competing" video serving companies joined together to buy a fast track then that wouldn't be anticompetitive, just anticompetitive against upstarts and secure for themselves a cabal.
>>
>>60133334
>>60133362
The fallacy the NN proponents often make is that a "fast track" or prioritization does not inherently slow all other traffic. The idea that without NN ISPs can throttle and slow any service they dislike or compete directly against is patently false.
