In actuality, any claims of "censorship" need to be directed at the COMPANIES, not the gov't. It's the companies (I probably shouldn't pluralize that, as I've only read of Comcast attempting this) that are trying to censor what their users do with the 'net.Animalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011608269211715910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-76887876648189962172010-05-08T05:05:57.505-07:002010-05-08T05:05:57.505-07:00So, if I am reading this correctly, regulation by ...So, if I am reading this correctly, regulation by the FCC would assure constant bandwidth speed for all the users. . . ?<br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-42863262865142758672010-05-08T04:56:08.669-07:002010-05-08T04:56:08.669-07:00The potential for government censorship of opposit...The potential for government censorship of opposition to the government administration (federal) is boundless if the web loses net neutrality.

These are folks that Comcast worried were illegally downloading video, an activity that uses a lot of broadband width. Comcast wanted to decrease the download speed, ostensibly to cover their butts against lawsuits wherein plaintiffs (read: movie studios and record labels) could claim Comcast was a de facto conspirator to piracy.<br /><br />The FCC, in seeking "net neutrality," would guarantee that companies (such as Comcast) would not be able to slow down traffic in this way. So, the claim of "regulation" is actually exactly the opposite: it's COMCAST (and, presumably, other ISP's) who want to regulate the internet. The FCC is trying to insure that access is open to all.Animalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011608269211715910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-55935324618858042652010-05-06T22:01:39.875-07:002010-05-06T22:01:39.875-07:00A friend of mine is going to China next month and ...A friend of mine is going to China next month and worries about getting Internet access, especially search engines.<br /><br />She says it's hard to imagine being in a country where you get censored for typing "Liberty" into the Google page.
