Subject: [AFMUG] "Net neutrality"
I just ready yet another article on the so called "net neutrality" the
FCC will be voting on Feb 26th. This government overreach is going to
force me to have to register to collect taxes on all of my customers,
which I'll need to pay someone to do for me to make sure I stay in
compliance, which will require that I raise prices to cover my
increased costs.
It will also prevent me from being able to run any kind of QoS on my
network, so goodbye to any decent VoIP calls.
I for one would like to keep the government out of my business beyond
what they already are. The article I read stated that it will likely
pass. If it does, I think something very "extreme" may need to be
done. If in protest every ISP in the USA shut down their networks
either until the law was repealed or for just a day or two strike I
think the government would get the picture, and if they didn't then
the millions of people complaining to them about it would certainly help.
I know that is very extreme, but just a thought. Anyone else have any
ideas? Perhaps if we just threaten to do so may help? I'm just
spitballing here, so please don't think I'm being to crazy. I just
want the discussion to begin of what we could really do to stop this.
Thank you,
