Here's how I see it... A positive decision is one that removes regulation or protects us from the government. A negative decision is one that adds regulation or protects incumbents in the industry. We can disagree on that, but we proba

That's jumping to quite the conclusion. As I've responded to a few people here, I have a site where I write about technology and freedom. Net neutrality is a big topic in that area, but I also write about privacy, free speech &amp

Neither is true. I'm a software developer who works in a completely unrelated industry. I'm just intrigued by technology and freedom, which is what I write about on my site – and why most of my HN comments and submissions are on r

They wouldn't be able to compete without offering a service that differentiates them from the competition in a way that appeals to consumers. "Secret network caps and slowdowns" doesn't sound very appealing, so why assum

I think you're making an assumption that shouldn't be assumed: that these smaller providers won't voluntarily be transparent and open. If I were competing against the likes of AT&T and Comcast, I'd use that as a comp

Let me know where to submit my invoice so I can get paid! Seriously though, I'd much rather be accused of being pro market than pro government meddling.
