over net neutrality.

Any doubt that it is a good idea just vanished. If these bastards hate it, it must be bad for them and good for us.

AT&T to halt investment in fiber optic lines because of net neutrality

Fuck them.

[The Valkyrie]

There are plenty of others who will invest.

[Minimalist]

Yep.

America Pays More For Internet, Gets Slower Speeds, Than Other Countries

Americans pay far more and get far less when it comes to the Internet than many other people around the world. But a few small towns might be changing that.

Now let me go out on a limb and suggest this is because these motherfucking whores pay a lot of money to bribe legislators.

You're like a little kid who changes the rules of the game and then gets butthurt when your opponent changes his strategy in response to your rule change. Government interventions change peoples incentives and consequently their behavior.

Net neutrality has some negative effects....stop whining about it always being the other guys fault for not behaving the way you want him to behave....its high time you liberaltards accept that your actions have negative consequences.

What is net neutrality in a nutshell?

[Minimalist]

Woodie, you're the type of fucking moron who thinks that if the sheriff stops a bank robbery he's removing the robber's "incentive."

Fuck off. Go back to your trailer and dream about being one of the ruling class.

What is net neutrality in a nutshell?

Government regulation of the internet.

Here is an example. Netflicks sucks up most of Comcast's bandwith delivering their product to their customers. Comcasts wants to charge Netflicks more money because they use more bandwith on comcasts network. The government wants to stop Comcast from doing so.

That's net neutrality.

AT&T is just being smart about stopping investing in highspeed fiber optic. What is the point of providing high speed fiber optic if you can't profit from it?

So why is it not fair to charge the biggest consumer more money?

[Jackalope]

That's one interpretation - one that flies in the face of how network peering agreements work.

I notice you also fail to mention what Netflix has offered to do to alleviate congestion on Comcast's transit links. This is not to say that Comcast is solely to blame, they aren't, but your analysis is laughable one-sided. I can't say I'm surprised.

Cause Minimalist and his liberaltard friends don't think its fair...and they think they know what is best. Then when they change the incentives....and people consequently change their behavior in response to those incentives....some how that's not their fault. Its the corporation fault for being greedy.

I was arguing with a friend about minimum wage...he said if a business can't afford to pay a minimum wage after it is increased...they shouldn't be in business. Later he was complaining that the tax on his dock was increased. I told him if he can't pay the tax increase its his fault and he has no business owning a dock then. He didn't like that.
