If we lived in a world with 20+ ISPs competing for customers, I'd say go for it. Instead, we live in a world where over 80% of Americans have only one or two choices in ISP. The "muh free market" argument against net neutrality is out of touch with reality.

Think of it from a business standpoint. The ISP makes deals with all major websites to create a "basic internet package" that is very cheap, but only allows access to those select sites. The ISP makes money from the sites who pay to be part of the basic package, and the sites paying to be part of the package make money from essentially a captured user base.

Then you expand this system into more tiers of web access, each tier getting more expensive and providing you with access to a wider variety of sites, probably with an "unrestricted internet" package being the most expensive. A "pay per view" style system where you pay a dollar amount to access certain sites is unlikely, but a system where broad categories of websites are segregated into different packages is.

The "pay more to get more" idea also extends to stuff like streaming, data limits, etc. You want to stream 4k video? More data use? Gotta pay more. Imagine the current concept of paying more to get higher speed internet extended to every aspect of the web.

No, the internet has been great for journalism

The point is, when you have an oligopoly, they conspire. Even in broad massive industries with tons of competitors, they still find ways to conspire, push narratives, and act in seemingly self-destructive ways to advance political causes.

You think the competition between 2 or 3 ISP's will be enough to catastrophically cut prices, expand services, prevent any sort of manipulation (such as throttling "undesireable" websites). It doesn't work out that way in practice.
>>
>>133437113
This has been said 100x, but the idea of a neutral internet has existed since the 80's. It became popular in 2005 and was made a law in 2015 to stop ISPS from owning the internet. So I guess the argument is that we didn't need it before 2015 because people weren't greedy dicks then.

This will never happen. You think those companies honestly will let them get placed behind a paywall to access them? It would kill them all. They would lose a massive amount of traffic and their revenue stream would run dry.

I easily use more than 385+ websites, and you are limited to only the sites in your plan unless you call your internet company? No fucking way. In America taxpayers paid for a lot of the fiber optic cable these cocksuckers use. Spectrum and comcast have millions of customers, 20-30, and the average bill is 100.00 so that's 2 billion a month? That's plenty, if they are allowed to do whatever they want the internet is fucked.

Put it this way - suppose I want to make a new ISP. I don't have the infrastructure and the money to set up a network than can handle everything, but let's say I've got an idea for a smaller niche market: I'll make an internet service that doesn't handle any kind of really heavy bandwidth sucking traffic like movie streaming or games, but still manages good, reliable, fast rates for raw data transfer. Not terribly great for individual consumers, but companies that deal in a lot of data transfer like healthcare companies or research labs might be potential clients.

Throttling or blocking certain types of traffic, like data to/from movie streaming sites in order to keep those kinds of services from bogging down my network and provide the service I want my company to provide would be a violation of FCC standards for internet service.

Most startups would run into similar problems - if you can't offer all the required traffic at whatever the standard pricing, rates, etc are - you're prohibited from functioning as an ISP.

Why would an ISP choose to throttle streaming from a popular movie site to allow your company to function? You're leaving out the part where the physical internet infrastructure your company requires to function is owned by a larger ISP company. You have to make a deal with an upstream ISP to get your ISP online, unless you feel like laying your own cable around the country.

The more realistic case is that net neutrality ensures your content is provided the same as any other content, while without net neutrality large internet companies can pay for extra bandwidth and cause you to be throttled by comparison.

Think about your own example for a bit, these low bandwidth sites don't need high speeds, they certainly aren't effected much by a "bogged down" network. Also, research labs probably use more bandwidth than you think since they tend to work with insane amounts of raw data.

These companies want to get rid of Net Neutrality.
Does anyone really think they have OUR best interests in mind? Or do you think CNN and MSNBC might be slavering to start censoring 4chan once net neutrality protections are torn down?

Yes, we DO have a market competition issue. But that isn't actually involved with net neutrality. It's outside the scope of net neutrality, and it definitely needs to be dealt with. Scrapping net neutrality laws WON'T do that.

And they keep it that way on purpose. They sue any ISP that wants to come on the scene with cheaper, better, non censoring, non data selling service. You are advocating that they continue to have such power, and we also give power to the FCC to do as they will.

This is not a fix.

A fix is destroying the monopolies and opening the market to small ISPs who can come in and offer a better service. They will then corner the market, forcing all ISPs to not fuck over their customer base the same way.

Precisely. All of the anti-NN people keep arguing from the stance of what they think ought to be the case, rather than what actually is the case. Yeah yea yeah, blah blah "if it were a real free market, this wouldn't be a problem!!!" and all that shit. We don't have a free market for ISPs.

Preserving internet freedom is so incredibly important. Without it, we would never have had Trump. There'd be no 4chan, none of the fun, none of the investigations, none of the swamp draining. The internet would look like mainstream television and we'd be continuing our rapid slide into despotism.

Net Neutrality is a regulation to undo to effect of an over regulated internet market. There's no reason Google should be able to roll these guys with a killer service, but utility access is far too bogged down in local regulations it does something like triple the cost of rolling out new lines.If the internet market were actually free this sort of thing wouldn't be a concern. You could kill a bad ISP in a month if it decided to throttle its customers and everyone jumped ship.

>Law prevents companies from hiding any website or content from consumers
Yeah, that's outright banning. Now what about throttling? They can make certain websites downright unusable by giving them the lowest possible priority.

It's akin to shadowbanning in the sense that an actual ban would be too obvious, so places like reddit and twitter shadowban you so you THINK you're making posts that aren't actually being seen. Likewise, they want to use throttling because it's not as obvious as outright blocking sites, but will still cause people to be dissuaded from certain sites towards others.

This isn't capitalism, no markets are being created. What we have now is a captive market, an oligopoly, which is why countries poorer than us have fiber optic internet and we don't. The telecoms have an agreement with each other not to push for fiber optic internet, because if one did, they all would, and it would bring in zero additional income.

Capitalism works in a pure market, with little barrier to entry and lots of competition. ISPs do not fall under that category. I'm a proponent of capitalism, but you have to have some regulation. Pure capitalism doesn't work because of markets, which are based on human nature, which is inherently illogical and short sighted.

No internet company may throttle nor offer internet plans. That was on torrent throttling. Even Verizon got fucked for throttling Netflix users.

Except there were ISPs throttling netflix, and this is what led to the law.

Do you understand how laws are made and implemented? What happens is companies find an "exploit" if you will. Some way of doing things that's not illegal that they can easily use to their advantage. After they start using this, everyone else sees what's going on and says "what the fuck, this is fucked up". That's when politicians step in and make a law as a RULE PATCH, so to speak. The point here is that a law is only made after the exploit is identified.

It's disingenuous to say "oh, well the law was only made in 2015 and the lack of NN wasn't an issue beforehand anyway!". Why? Because it wasn't until shortly beforehand that ISPs realized they could do this for their own benefit at the detriment of customers. The internet is young; the fact that no one realized they could do this before 2015 doesn't mean it's not an issue that should have been addressed.

There is no reason to be against NN. Stop being a ZOG shill.

It's not actually regulatory content the way you think it is.

The FCC isn't able to say, "No you can't have this on your website", and even if they DID do that - you have grounds to sue through the courts. The constitution doesn't allow the FCC to make this kind of decision and The PEOPLE don't want the FCC to be censoring shit like that.

What the FCC is actually doing however, is saying, "No, Timewarner, you cannot throttle bandwidth for people trying to connect to google, NYT, or 4chan"

That's what the "regulation" is. And the shills try to make vague statements about regulations like they're preventing market competition, but what's ACTUALLY preventing market competition is the way the ISP's are creating lock-in situations with cities, where only the ISP can offer internet, and then the city is stuck with them for 10 years or whatever.

THAT is killing market competition and creating monopolies, not net neutrality.

Net Neutrality is preserving places like 4chan's existence.

Here in St. Louis we have two cable broadband options: Charter and AT&T. Both average around 25Mbps, frequently drop connections without reason or warning, cost $60 a month, throttle competitive services (Netflix), and have awful customer service. It's been this way for 8 years now. Google Fiber would totally crush them, but they lobby the local government to ensure Fiber will never set up shop.

I don't recall the economic jargon, but there's a phrase used to describe this situation. One company knows the competition is complacent, so it will also be complacent. The regional market is a duopoly, but ultimately it doesn't matter with who you pay for. The service is lousy regardless.

tl;dr: you're wrong.

The isp industry isn't a free market. The main method is to get cities to pay for them laying fiber lines in exchange for 50+ years of exclusive fiber rights. When that doesn't fly, they often negotiate to the fact that competing isps are allowed, but they have to pay to use their fiber lines and no one is allowed to lay competing fiber lines.

I know because I help them do it. They're getting rich because your city politicians love dem sweet, sweet (((donations)))

He's sort of right, they're not going to quit. There is too much money at stake for them. The internet just killed their monopoly on television and radio, people don't HAVE to listen to their shitty kike content anymore, they have options. And when books were popular they monopolized the printing presses. The same thing is happening here, people don't want their shitty content so they're going to buy the system out that's killing their business. They're going to throw everything they have into it. If some new NN bill pops up every 6-12 months, do you really think people are going to keep caring? The shock value is already starting to wear off. It will become normalized.

Compounding this is the huge barrier to entry to creating new ISP companies. Lets say there's an area where there's only one ISP, and you want to start a competitive company. Well the physical infrastructure that moves the internet in that area is owned by that one ISP. You have two choices: spend millions of dollars and multiple years on laying own cables, or make a deal with the main ISP to act as a downstream provider of their service, where you pay them for the privilege of using their cables and play by their rules.

Precisely. The kikes are panicking because social media and the internet is breaking the de-facto monopoly they had on information flow, like they did in decades past. People no longer have to get their news from CNN, Fox, NYT, etc. They can freely communicate with each other. And while any individual site can use censorship, no censorship program is perfect (or cheap) and there are always alternative sites to go to.

They're quickly losing their grasp that they NEED in order to survive as the parasitic caste they are. So what is their saving throw? Try to use the ISP monopolies to work around the first amendment by having the ISPs censor/throttle websites that are too "wrongthink". Even if this isn't what happens overnight, ISPs de-facto banning places like 4chan is their goal.

Oh no, it's even worse than that. The ISP's who are complaining about how net neutrality causes market monopolies (it doesn't), have actually been buying contracts with municipalities to prevent them from even OFFERING alternative internet services.

So even if a company comes into the city and says, "We'll pay for EVERYTHING" - they can't, because the city has a signed monopoly with timewarner or comcast or whatever else. And the fraud news networks LIKE it that way.

This is why net neutrality is so fucking important right now. Until we can break these monopolies up, it's pretty much the only thing protecting the internet.
We MUST break these monopolies. Even if someone thinks net neutrality should go - WE MUST break the monopolies first, or we won't see ANY improvement, only things getting worse.

>So shit that applies to the existing ISPs?
It doesn't apply to them because they already have their cables in place. The point is that you can't start a competitive ISP company without investing millions, if not more, upfront. This prevents new companies from creating a competitive space, which is why the ISP space in the US is effectively a monopoly. This is why the argument of "net neutrality isn't necessary when the free market will fix things" doesn't apply. The debate over net neutrality would be very different if everyone in the US had 10-20 different ISPs to choose from.
