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
not the lines I think but certain modules
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.
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.
The other option is 5 up 10 down with the threat that you're getting 1 up 2 down for everything that isn't Approved by Comcast™.
Because that's how everything seems to be poised to go.
Either that or them vacuuming up your data because there's no viable alternatives to the big 3.
that's entirely wrong dude
Many of the fears that you have about a lack of control with the FCC
