i think real life should be ordered... and the internet should be anarchy
^
I think goverment tends fuck things up
the internet flourished without any regulation.. why start now?
Net Neutrality IS goverment regulation
riight that's what I mean
Thing is, if you regulate anything, you are now responsible for the things that slip through
That
and also
the FTC is much better at going after companies that do shady shit
which is basically all that happened, responsibility went from the FCC (a freaking licensing wing) to the FTC which actually can do shit
How you gonna regulate something as anomalous as a network. And arguably its not exactly something on your priority since its all on the "dark net". Even then thats rather difficult anyway.
the FTC already has unfair and deceptive practices authority, it's what they do
and they do it in all industries..
so as long as things are not "unfair or deceptive" laissez-faire
Well more like spend the money else where instead of your inquisition against immorality
is farmlands out yet?
doesn't look like it
No farmlands. Apparently it wasn't normie compatible so extra bits are being added to explain some history
By the time it's released there will be no South Africa, so I guess the added history is kind of a good idea lol
@Blackhawk342 if I had a choice in ISP, probably not long. Unfortunately this is the real hurdle that even made net neutrality really any kind of potential issue. You have like 1 or 2 options for ISPs in a lot of places if you don't want to deal with sat internet.
I dont thinkt hat would have changed with NN
infrastructure costs money
and any goverment subsidies by the likes of ATT have been squandered to put infrastructure in rural places, so I dont' trust it anyway
It’s not just money, the regulatory hurdles required to start your own ISP are so intense that even Google is having problems expanding Google Fiber
meh alot of that is ATT being assholes
but I understand it
or other ocmpanies
basically their shit is working on the poles and they dont want some random person f'n with it
so yes they're being assholes but they are protecting their own stuff at the same time, not that I agree with it but understand it...
That is one problem, though from what I know Google runs their own lines (and often does a poor job)
I have a buddy who’s an ATT tech, he says Google hires local contractors who often do shady shit like run lines through the road only inches deep and just leave it temporarily filled in
When Australia wins the space race y'all can use our satellite internet
NN didn't solve anything really
outside of making everything probably slower
because video steaming and stuff takes up a LOT of bandwidth
I can’t wait to purchase the chat package that includes discord
It worked the opposite here, ISPs would offer freebies to say Facebook to outbid for customers, everything else is the same price
its a bit of an iffy thing,
WITH NN, theres no need to compete since theres no new customer base, cuz everyone is required to get the same package, so price is the only thing that matters,
And to invest into making new internet across US might not give desirable returns
So you´re stuck with shitty internet since no company bothers being better, theres no competition
