Congress just sold you out to Comcast, Verizon and AT&T. http://www.savetheinternet.com/ on here is the info and a form letter you can click and send to congress. I think it is worth a peek.

Here's what you're missing. Without regulation, the ISPs can do whatever they want. Congress is interested in regulating the lines. Otherwise, for example, your ISP could make a deal with one company to slow the traffic from competitors. In other words, the Internet is not the free territory you envision--it's controlled by corporate providers. Congress wants to be ready to prevent abuses.

MM- all I know is I do not want throttling.

RO uses Start page. They dont track people there.

You're missing the point. He still has an ISP, he still goes through search engines, and all this can be controlled. Congress doesn't want to wait for a crisis for the tools to prevent abuse.

LOL.........yeah........I have had 117 intrusion attempts today. Assuming that even if that were true, anytime he left it, they would track him........and you better believe they do, always.

ALL Internet traffic is traceable, as it all crosses multiple servers.

pahunkboy -> RE: Congress just sold you out to Comcast, Verizon and AT&T. (5/28/2010 11:43:48 AM)
I fail to see how congress can fix ANYTHING.

Well, they just addressed your throttling concern.
