I'm waiting in line to talk about net neutrality

I've asked about that. matt isnt well versed on the topic far as I've asked

I have spent the last 15 years building the internet. The way it works and the compulsion of ISPs and such, and their various arguments are sort of complex, but easy to boil down

and they're several billion in the hole they received in tax subsidies they pocketed

They just pocketed the government aid? surprise surprise?

DEAR BLESSED SHAREHOLDERS, LOOK HOW GOOD I AM AT THIS!

So if we took government out of the internet they would live and by the service that they provide customers

I think the correlation between airwaves, video / radio vs the internet

does federal interjection help or hinder? does it make things better or worse?

Then the question would be asked was it really necessary?

would everything fall down around our ears if they didnt?

More like, is regulatory interference help or cause more problems. I see the ISPs point of view, especially in regard to netflix

ive got an ISP in my area that blew everyone else out of the water just from the good service they provided

This discord thing is kinda cool. Reminds me of old school AIM

but netflix colocates boxes at ISPs to cut down on bandwidth costs, but it is incumbent upon the ISPs to deal with the bandwidth costs.

They ship pass-through proxy machines

So you have people like comcast who bitch about peering, a "service" that only provides a better service to their customers

and then blames netflix, which is totally not their problem

they provide the service, comcast just bitches at everyone that they have to pay for the bandwidth their customers want to use. And they still provide sh*t service

Just sounds like they arent willing to expand on infrastructure. That's the problem with a monopoly, they rest on their laurels

Praise Kek

that's exactly that

they don't want to spend the coin it costs for them to provide the service they sell

That's why I think if the barrier to entry is lower, the monopoly would be broken by a bunch of smaller companies snapping away their business

Not to mention the ownership of the copper that goes to each home

the company in my town that got so much buzz is less than 10 years old

in the U.S. we don't have options, so yes they are monopolies and they know it

Violence is always the answer

In hte U.S. it appears to me that monopolies appear when government and big business start giving each other reach arounds

sort of agree

microsoft's monopoly was built through sheer bastard behavior

Most people are bastards by nature

intentional acpi stand obfuscation

standard*

gonna have to explain that one to me

ACPI?

Matt Got my name wrong *Unsubs*

😄

acpi has to do with power standards, it's insanely complicated. Microsoft pioneered it and they intentionally, quoted from memos and speeches, so that other operating systems couldn't or would have a very difficult time applying
