CTIA Posts Counterpoint Video to Net Neutrality Argument

Maximum PC: I haven't spoken with every individual at Maximum PC about net neutrality and asked what their stances all, though I'm fairly confident we all agree it's a good thing. Certainly our new Editor-in-Chief Tuan Nguyen does, as evidenced by his recent articles on the topic here and here. And obviously so does Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler, who recently proposed reclassifying the Internet as a public utility. But not everyone does. Among the comments to some of the articles we've posted on the subject are arguments opposed to treating the Internet like a public utility, which would thereby give the government increased oversight. The CTIA also opposes reclassifying the Internet as such, but I'm not sure their video on the topic will do them any favors.

Oh yeah, those random people on the street were TOOOOOOOTALLY believable.

I agree with the article completely; there might be some valid concerns about broad laws that treat mobile almost exactly the same as regular ISPs, but the "concerns" in the video have pretty much zero merit.

And about that Pandora comment...if said networks/providers didn't have pointless data caps ( https://www.techdirt.com/ar... ), that would never be a problem anyway.

The companies imposed the data caps as fees... now of course companies need a way to guarantee access to the customer. Fuck cable companies... Please Elon free us from the blood sucking capitalists soon! lol

study abroad is the chance to find yourself while acquiring a comprehension of an alternate culture. Being in another spot without help from anyone else can overpower on occasion.
