Let’s give another example of why we should be for net-neutrality:

Comcast is in partnership with General Electric (GE) which when combined, form majority ownership of NBC; the home of Matthews, Maddow, Shultz, and Olbermann.

Let’s say they (Comcast) decides to implement a policy which allows only two terabytes of video data emanating from the “ditto cam” to pass through to it’s millions of subscribers after which, the “ditto cam” traffic is blocked until an equivalent amount of video traffic originating from msnbc.com passes through to it’s millions of subscribers. And furthermore, this oscillating traffic shaping policy is to be in effect 24/7, 365 days a year.

What the above example describes is a technological implementation of the Fair Use Policy; something which we are all unanimously against.

Sure, one can complain to Comcast, but there is no legal mandate causing them to act on your behalf. One can push the arugument of free speech…but Comcast is a private/public – non government entity which is NOT subject to the preservation of Free speech. In essence, one is up the creek without a paddle. One will be forced to drink the kool-aid.

Yes one can unsubscribe…if one is lucky enough to have competing internet service providers. However, for the majority of americans, they are not within the local loop of major metropolitan areas and thus have access to only a single cable provider; comcast for example.

Now, if the FCC is in charge as a regulator….and they ignore their mandate as a regulator and decide to become an agent and implement a blocking/traffic shaping policy on the direction of some “regime”, then we the people do have legal recourse based upon the constitutional principle of Free Speech. (Internet messages, video has been classified as speech through numerous legal precedence). Furthermore, one has the ultimate recourse, the ballot box. The offending “regime” can be replaced and thus replace the chairman of the FCC with one who promotes proper behavior.

Ultimately, what i am trying to say is that being for net neutrality is a means by which we can continue to have unfettered propagation of conservative thought without worrying that some private entity can adversely affect it.

Lastly, i feel as though we are being duped by the liberals. They know we are going to be, at first glance, against any form of governmental regulation. And thus they are working in parallel aquiring influence in these public/private – non governmental Internet Service Providers (telcos) such that they can implement their philosophies in a private realm.

In sum, they’ll appear to relinquish their desires by avoiding any implementation of governmental regulation and thus throw us a bone…meanwhile snickering behind the scenes thinking job well done. They (conservatives/republicans) fell for it hook line and sinker.

Let’s not lose the technology war like we did in 2008.

and their professed interest in “preserving” the net and/or keeping the nation from mass hacking or saving us from presumed international cyber attacks is just as easily used to censor and/or shut down conservative sites.

After all, look at how happy his majestyinchief is with FOX, Rush, the tea parties, and any other opposing point of view.
