Max,
OK,then I don't see any conflict with some of the proposals coming
from AT&T and Verizon with this concept of freedom. Consumers will still be
able to access any content on the Internet as long as they pay for access.
Content providers will still be able to provide content as long as they pay
for the pipe. The bigger the pipe they want, the more they pay. If they want
their packets tagged for priority routing and QOS, they pay more. Sort of
like the postal service or UPS.
Now, when you talk about providers actually BLOCKING certain web
sites I am totally against that. So when I hear that Google is one of the
advocates of this "neutrality", YET, are partners in crime with china
depriving their citizens of certain content, I just see "Net neutrality" as
mostly a bunch of hypocritical bs, though there are a few well intentioned
individuals involved in it.
