Fuck Ajit Pai.
With a broad sword, preferably.
I vote for the shards of that giant Reese’s mug
Giant Mug - last week tonight with John Oliver
Ashit Pie has such a punchable face.
This is great, but we also need a law that mandates leasing of existing last mile, to bring a competition like we had during the days of DSL.
Ideally the fiber from POP to my house should be owned by my city and leased to whichever ISP I want to do business with.
Or you separate the infra from the provider. So all fiber is put into company A and the service offering is done by companies that buy capacity on the lines.
Regulate the shit out of the infra company and let the service offering co pa iets compete. You will see datacaps disappear and prices drop in no time.
This would fix a boatload of issues and break down Verizon/Comcast into service vs infrastructure companies.
It will never happen.
Both companies would put forth a staggering amount of money into lobbying to kill this on top of all the politicians they already “donated” to.
It’s sickening.
I’m going to hold my excitement in check until January of next year. Because if a certain former president gets reelected then any hopes of net neutrality will end for another 4 years.
Net Neutrality will probably be one of our lesser concerns if that happens.
another 4 years
And probably longer than that, if things go the way Trump plans
