We're gonna have to get political my friends.
Smar/tg/uys, this has probably been mentioned before, but we need to really mount up on the FCC for their bullshit attempt to violate net neutrality.
There has been one constant throughout the internet and that it is a level field for everyone. Each one of you bastards has as much right to it, and to say whatever the fuck you want, as I do. Whether you're fat, bold, neckbearded, naked, wasted or not. We all have equal opportunity here.
New companies and big companies all had equal shot here, we could embrace whichever ones we want, and told whichever ones we don't want, to go fuck off. Now the FCC wants to charge service providers and hosters, a premium for the bandwidth they use.
To put it in simple terms: Netflix right now, is one of the biggest streaming providers on the planet. In the internet's current state, if I start up a smaller streaming service, as long as I have good bandwidth that I can afford, I can provide equal quality to my customers. I may be smaller, but I can somewhat compete.
The FCC's new premium shit means that Netflix will have to pay tons of cashy monies to maintain the quality of their service. While they have become huge now and can afford it, the hypothetical tiny company I started will have to fold, since I can only afford to give people Dial up speed connection.
This concerns all of us, every single internet user will be impacted by the bullshit of this law. The main reason it's happening is because the cable providers are lobbying for this bullshit act, since it will boost their current monopolies and screw all of us over.
For crying out loud, right now we're all paying out the wazoo to have internet connections that other countries (read: not full of assholes in power, and more reasonable) get for a lot less. Cable companies have monopolies on the market, but they don't get penalized on them because they claim that nationally they're not the biggest.
