- smkellat 7y agoThere are basic communications principles that pre-date having an Internet. One of them is that emergency traffic let alone health & welfare traffic have precedence over routine traffic on communications systems. There can be voluntary prioritization of traffic to support emergency response now or the full legal power of multiple nation-states can be brought to bear to ensure traffic supporting emergency response gets handled first. What we have here is a critical vulnerability in that too much is dependent upon one backbone.

Economic cost of not being productive at home is worth degrading leisure activities (especially if its just 4k->480p). That doesn't its not clear that its necessary at this point. But it if is? Clinging to net neutrality is silly.
