CNN 8:59 AM, Dec 14, 2017 Quote: The Republican-led Federal Communications Commission voted Thursday to approve a controversial plan to repeal Obama-era net neutrality protections. The repeal passed 3-2, along a party-line vote. https://www.10news.com/news/national/fcc-holding-vote-that-could-end-net-neutrality-laws?autoplay=true

Why not? Washington State has a ton of extra cash due to our clever legislators and bureaucrats, and we have to spend that money somewhere. Sweet!

Rofl. Guess Inslime can't count, he is 5-13, not 5-0.

The title of the thread is misleading but still technically accurate. In the early 2000's the net neutrality rules was actually started by the Bush administration... it became more robust during the Obummer administration. zombie66 wrote: So is this a good or bad thing? IMO it's yet to be seen. The next two years of actions by Comcast, Time Warner, Verizon, AT&T, etc can only tell... but I think it stinks of greed and corruption. Personally I do not believe the net-neutrality rules was an over-regulation, and I definitely don't trust Comcast to keep all websites and services on an equal footing without charging consumers more for accessing non-affiliated sites at the same speeds. Put it this way... Would you trust Verizon to resist charging you more for a package that does not down-throttle the connection to your google phone, maps, drive?

I agree, especially about greed and corruption.

I don't know why so many small government people think this issue needs to be addressed by government regulation, especially now that there is intense competition among service providers.
