The problem isn't you offering that service, it's Verizon offering that service and being the only game in town. If we had real competition, network neutrality would be a non-issue because the market would punish violators. But we don't.
- gojomo 16y agoThen why not use antitrust and other policies to create actual competition where it's missing? As the 'backdoor' meetings of Google and Verizon hosted by the FCC show, federal rulemaking just cements the power of incumbents who can send planeloads of lawyers and lobbyists to DC. If lack of competition is the problem, address that, don't try to simulate competition via slow, often braindead, eventually-twisted-against-upstarts regulation.
