"Net Neutrality"

[ICantSpellDawg]

I think I finally understand the "net-neutrality" arguements. I am going to have to come down in favor of the FCC's moves even though it might hurt me as a high bandwith user. Up with "Stupid Networks", down with companies determining content which has nothing to do with their cost of doing business. Would you be in favor of the water company finding out whether you use water for showers, drinking, gardening, etc and charging you an arbitrary amount for each type of activity?

Probably not.

I also place more value on the development of content than the development of the physical utility. This development is consistent with my priorities. Just because you treat the ISP like a water or electrical company doesn't mean that they won't enhance their networks either, the recognition is simply that a top tier physical network is worthless when the content can't get through freely.

Either way, this arguement will most likely be dead in the water when we start to use mesh networks which increase bandwith with every new user.

What do you think?
