5) Carriers will not be able to throttle or block traffic from destinations as they see fit.

6) The better way to handle this in regards to home internet without regulation is to remove current laws in regards to franchise agreements with cable companies. Wireless carriers should be common carriers subject to Title II.

Just my opinions.

7) The providers will not be able to block services that compete with their own offerings. IE; google wallet.

Net neutrality is like totally going to make it so cell phone companies can put towers wherever they want! Even if the homeowners complain.

1 no not really. Your gated community will just ban peds or dslam enclosures.

3. The government does not control the internet. Get that out of your head.

4. Some of that blocking was in place for a reason. Nigerian email scammers. Thousands of blocked IPs. For good reason.

6. Let's hope that works.


Regulation of nothing for nothing. What a complete waste of time and effort.

Alright. It doesn't matter anyways. It's just politics.
