net neutrality is like welfare for the internet.

1) The FCC comissioner has made it clear that they will not tolerate degredation of service.

2) The primary issue here is that there are gigantic networks that have to be built to sustain growth and continue to support consumer's demand for faster and faster and more bandwidth intensive uses of the net. Companies like att & verizon have to pay for those massive rollouts.

3) Nobody is asking sites like google and myspace and youtube to fork over "taxes" or "tolls" or "tariffs"... this is a bunch of conspiracy propaganda. These companies want to add additional capacity to their networks so that they can provide higher speed services to their users. Content providers who want to use the public internet are free to and will continue to be allowed to. Content providers who would like to get faster delivery (above and beyond that of which the net is capable) will need to enter into a contract with the companies who are laying down the pipes.

4) Customers arent willing to pay more for their broadband access than they currently do, so this cost simply cant be born by the consumer. So why is it that the companies who are going to bear the costs arent allowed to use these networks as they see fit.

At first I was wooed by all the net neutrality whining, but as I researched it more, read lots of articles, read the pros and cons and the actual bills and I am very much against it. True "net neutrality" will stymie the growth of the web because more and more people will simply climb onto the existing and barely sustainable pipes that are out there. This will cause everything to slow down.

So the real question is... do you want the entire internet to slow down? Or do you want to have an option to step above the crowd and penny up to be a faster content provider?

As a paysite operator (among other things) I would be more than happy to cough up a reasonable fee to guarantee a higher QOS into peoples homes when my $ is on the line.

Just imagine if free porn was slow to download but paysite porn was nice and fast.

my 2 cents.
