Game Theory Computer Model Backs Net Neutrality

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the skynet-opinions dept.

Stu writes "'A world without net neutrality is one devoid of intellectual development' said Sir Tim Berners Lee in a presentation to congress last week. Well, now there's a computer model that uses game theory to back that forecast up. Developed at the University of Florida, the model shows that everyone loses if the IPs get their way — even, eventually, the IPs."

    Hey, the rest of the world can run these internets and intarwebs however they like, but THIS IS AMERICA and we don't appreciate none of that intellectual development garbgage. We prefer our internets to be about sending videos of people getting hit in the testicles, underage girls shaking their ass on their webcams and flash videogames targeted at school children on Kraft Foods' websites.

    You must be too young to remember Ma Bell...

    Remember Ma Bell? I get my local and long distance service from them right now. I'm just lucky I've got a non-ATT cellular provider. Oh wait... Edge Wireless is an affiliate of Cingular Wireless, which means it is part of the largest digital voice and data network in the U.S.*... shit!

    I don't know about others, but I hack code and I don't give two shits about spelling and grammar.

    So, your code rarely works correctly?

    Why 'Sir' Bernie Lee-Taupins? Lord this, Baron that (hello Conrad). I've got a PhD but I don't call myself Doctor Who. Fluff, that's what it is. At least the buggers have been voted out of existence. But they'll have to be beaten with sticks before they go away. 'Sir' my ass. That's what you call the guy at the store, unless you call him George. And I'm a brit in London
