Broadband Carriers Blow Off Net Neutrality Meeting

FCC's second hearing one-sided without them

2 Comments

Net Neutrality

Perhaps the broadband carriers would do well to look at how over 100 years ago, electricity providers determined standards and regulations on the infrastructure for delivering electricity?

By setting standards around A/C current, they let anyone put anything on the wires as long as it met a certain voltage requirement. It sparked a revolution that made many people wealthy, including the electricity companies!

Net Neutrality therefore, is vital to innovation. The broadband carriers should stick to doing what they do best; providing network access. I don't see electricity companies looking for royalties on electric irons, TV sets, computers, electric heating, water heaters, microwaves...and on and on...

you're trippin'

Why do you feel the FCC needs to set rules? Rules on the internet? Ridiculous!
