Poll: only 20% of Americans support Net Neutrality, assuming they understand it

More Government regulations. The internet was fine without the obama administration seeking control. Now they have their foot in the door for more regulations and control over freedom of speach which the liberal progressives have been trying to shut down. The liberal pukes will argue this has nothing to do with that but it's a lie! As everything they do is a power grab. No one gave the govt the power to sieze control over the internet. Obama and these liberal dems have to be stopped! Americans are at war with our own govt. The govt. Is an evil ,corrupt, out of control, organized, crime syndicate.
If there was anyone looking out for Americans in this govt, they are the ones trying to make a stand against the communist obama! Every American should be outraged that a president is trying to be a dictator. We need the patriots that have a position of power in the CIA and Military to take matters in their own hands at this point. Obama must be impeached no matter the fallout. America will servive and the communist liberals must be weeded out by any means neccessary.

Another drama queen, I bet you don't care about BUSH controlling the media with our tax dollars.

Come on now, the only way for this administration to control the people is to control the flow of information. They cannot allow the freedom to access data that undermines their ability to subjugate the reasoning of free people. Big Brother must have the power to tell YOU what their view of the truth is without contesting from contrary facts.

Get government OUT of our lives. The government wants to control everything.

Have you ever noticed how government caters to the bottom in society, fashions new requirements, laws because of this small minority and the effect destroys the majority.

Bringing the bottom up is not the job of the government. It's the job of those on the bottom.

Catering to the bottom destroys.

You're a Socialist, No One care what you think queeny.

Americans Want the Internet to be FREE. Do you Hear that Liberal Progressive pieces of sh1t?

We Do not want it crawling with Obama's snooping minions or set up with gates to make users pay more Taxes!

The Internet Must be Free from these Google directed changes designed to limit competition to its business model. It locks out innovation and ensures no one can follow.

This is exactly why Obama hired the Google Lobbyist and exactly why the Google sent the embed to this heavy handed administration.

I suggest everyone read up on this Google Lobbyist and how Obama welcomed another one into the admin to help write internet protections for the parent company.

This is a scam. Obama is a shameless piece of sh1t.

The One Minute Case Against “Net Neutrality”

What is “net neutrality?”

To borrow Senator Ted Stevens’s infamous analogy of the Internet to a series of tubes, imagine a network of pipes connected by switching stations. The width of a pipe (bandwidth) determines the volume of messages (packets) than can be sent through it. Packets arriving at a switching station wait in a queue until they can be forwarded to their destination. The pipe’s diameter and the volume of traffic determines the total time (latency) that messages take to reach their destination.

Advocates of “net neutrality” argue against the right of the owners of the pipes (Internet Service Providers) to discriminate between different messages or to charge recipients of messages. So for example, an ISP would not be able to favor telephone calls sent over the net over movie downloads, or charge Google extra for the traffic sent their way, or to block a business if it competes with their own services, or to block malicious or illegal websites. Implementation of such regulations would require government surveillance of Internet traffic and FCC approval of new technologies and services which might violate “neutrality.”

The internet is laissez faire and the government can't stand it. That's all this "Net Neutrality" is about; the government trying to get more control. Of course it's ALWAYS for the good of the people...

Yea, right!

Regulation stifles innovation

The limitations of the original Internet protocols became apparent as it transitioned from a monopoly network designed for government use to a competitive and decentralized marketplace. One limitation is the lack of ability to prioritize certain kinds of traffic. Different kinds of communications have different bandwidth requirements. Watching movies over the web is bandwidth-intensive, but not time-critical. Teleconferences are both bandwidth intensive and time critical. Some applications like remote surgery and other time-critical services are simply impossible over the public Internet with current technology.

Advances in technology are beginning to allow traffic to be analyzed in the process of transmission, so certain traffic, such as real-time video can be prioritized, while other traffic such as file sharing or spam can be given a lower priority or dropped. Along with dramatic increases in speed and performance, technological innovation is making entirely new kinds of services possible.

Net neutrality advocates want the government to regulate how ISP’s may and may not route traffic. Pressure groups such as consumer activist groups, major websites, small ISPs, and Internet backbone providers are fighting for controls that favor them. Once the precedent of regulation is established, competition will shift to passing the most favorable legislation rather than providing the best technology and service.

Regulations breed more regulations

While communications technology has experienced exponential growth, heavily regulated and monopolized consumer phone and cable providers have been slower to improve services. Consumers fed up with expensive cable and DSL services are demanding more government controls over the pricing and behavior of their ISP’s. They argue that regulations are necessary because telecommunications companies receive monopoly privileges and other benefits from the government. But the lesson they should learn is the opposite – regulations create the need for more regulations. The solution is to abolish coercive monopolies for cable and phone service providers and allow free and open competition.

The Internet is possible because many private networks find it in their mutual self-interest to cooperate and share traffic loads. When inequalities arise, networks compensate each other for the extra load.“Neutrality” regulations force companies to act against their self-interest, inevitably leading them to complain to Congress to impose ever more detailed controls to maintain “fairness.”

The Internet is private property

The Internet is not public property. Telecommunications companies have spent billions of dollars on network infrastructure all over the world. They did so in the hope of selling communications services to customers willing to pay for them. The government has no right to effectively nationalize ISP’s by telling them how run their networks.

America is becoming more of a dictatorship day by day. It started out with Obamas appointments of his Czars. Then went on to his presidential edicts such as what he did last week concerning ObamaCare and now this net neutrality thing. Where and when will it stop? It better happen soon or it will be too late........for everyone.

Proponents of a mixed economy love to invent hypothetical scenarios of ways companies could abuse customers. It is true that a free society gives people the freedom to be stupid, wrong, and even malicious. The great thing about capitalism is that it also gives people the freedom to decide whom they want to do business with.

A socialized Internet takes away that freedom and turn it over to politicians and lobbyists. Why do “net neutrality” advocates ridicule politicians for comparing the Internet to a “series of tubes,” and then trust them to regulate it?
