that lawsuit was because google was permitted to physically tamper with AT & Ts equipment which was technically illegal
You know this brings to mind a point.
How much crap's been tied to the net neutrality bill by this point?
The fact that the lawsuit stalls a potential competitor doesn't factor in at all?
"The Ordinance thus purports to permit a third party (the Attacher) to temporarily
seize AT&T’s property, and to alter or relocate AT&T’s property, without AT&T’s consent and
with little notice" -from the lawsuit
Because my understanding of it is still "no fast lanes, all data must be treated equally."
Ties into the whole title 2 thing and how major ISPs were cutting people off of certain types of data arbitrarily.
Consider, for a moment, that their 'property' happens to be the cables, where they sit on the line.
Yeah.
okay, are you arguing with me orrrrrrr
Vaguely.
`Can we just have a discussion without it being an argument lol`
I don't get what you're trying to say
the lawsuit was filed because a competitor was allowed to tamper with their property without consent
What I'm saying is, the infrastructure as it exists are the power, telephone, and cable lines within a city.
To what degree were they tampering?
possibly seizing and relocating it
Are they referring to the lines?
which could have an affect on AT&Ts services
Because I don't think they could've possibly been relocating their stations or anything like that.
and also the poles themselves are AT&T property
Are they really? Huh.
I'd figure a neutral party would have to be in charge of those, like the city.
Nope.
And that's kind of the problem.
well, yeah.
It's a problem regardless of who owns them
Something something title 2 let them handle the infrastructure, including improvements, which they've basically been slacking on because there's no reason to whatsoever.
or, sorry, i think they own many modules attached to the poles
Like I said
And the companies have gotten so big that the little guy isn't going to be able to bring them down.
5 up
10 down
I'm living in the past.
Net neutrality is definitely ugly, if you don't trust the government.
I don't.
But that's the only patchwork solution we have right now.
and they were concerned because any disruption of their equipment could harm thousands of customers' service
Create a different solution then.
