re: #125 gamark

I already stated I’m all for neutral treatment of protocols and content over “common carrier” networks. What I don’t understand is why some consider pricing structured around bandwidth usage a bad thing requiring federal intervention.

pricing will not necessarily be structured around bandwidth usage. it would be just as easy to structure prices to drive traffic to one group of sites, starving other groups of sites of traffic since they would become so much more expensive

net neutrality means that you can go anywhere you like on the web without worrying if you are going to get charged an arm and a leg. imagine what it would do to your browsing habits if you had to check the toll every time before clicking a link
