Let the public decide on net neutrality!
Which might just give the tel-co's the advantage. Why? Have you seen the new commercials on tv about net neutrality?
Oh yeah. TV. No pipes to clog there... The commercials called the "net neutrality" issue a lot of mumbo jumbo. Big words made up by the silicon valley big-wigs to make you (me, all of us) pay out the nose for internet service. You mean that's not happening anyway? To be fair, a 30 second spot doesn't have a whole lot of time to flesh out the main points of the whole issue. To say the least there's certainly no time to talk about a tiered internet based on subscriptions via the same telco's that sponsored the ad (so blatant, they could have omitted any name and I would have guessed the telco's, or some lobbying group).
Cause when it comes to who should get rich from the internet, who could pay for all the bandwidth, and how we should distribute who can get what at what speed, it's purely silicon valley that's worried about getting their cut. The internet is a damned gold mine these days.
I saw a fast food commercial that was selling mario toys with their kids meals. The commercial? A repurposed version of the stage version of the mario bro's video that floated around the net for awhile there (I'd imagine the youTube for that is still out there).
Point being? I'm straying. I want to know the number of people who have cable, and those who have internet, or both. Then those who only have cable, what their knowledge of computers, internet and the net neutrality issue. I worry that while there may be a strong case for net neutrality, there might just be more people who have no idea what it even means and would see those commercials that easily play on a tv whenever needed. Things don't fall into your lap the same way on the internet... Not generally at least.
While here on the net, I don't expect a coherent or successful campaign from the telco's. On the flipside, I don't see any organized front from the internet making it's way to the tv.
