RodeoX and jaysabi, I can not fathom how you can write so astutely in this thread, and yet have favored Obama's pleas to regulate net neutrality. ...
I'm not sure what I said that leads you to believe that I do not support net neutrality. I think it is central to the future of the internet and I am dead against messing with the open and neutral nature of the internet.
Obama recently fought regulation of the internet. Super large ISPs and cable companies are trying to fundamentally change the internet. They want to set up a "non-neutral" system that allows ISPs to block any content they want or change the bandwidth you pull when viewing a competitors content.
You would not recognize this internet unless you live in China or North Korea. When you do an image search for "Tienanmen square" , you will see endless pictures of that guy who stood in front of the tank. If you searched in China you would find that image is unknown and would not show up. Why because there is no net neutrality in China. That is what the future will be like for us without neutrality. You will only see what your ISP has decided you should see. If they don't want you using bitcoin, then they will have the power to stop you.
I say we made the internet and it's content, not the ISPs. We should be able to view what we want.
