Bill Ready To Ban ISP Caps In the US

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yeah-that'll-happen dept.

xclr8r writes "Eric Massa, a congressman representing a district in western New York, has a bill ready that would start treating Internet providers like a utility and stop the use of caps. Nearby locales have been used as test beds for the new caps, so this may have made the constituents raise the issue with their representative."

  1. I'm sure there will be a loophole somewhere. by falconwolf · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There always will be. The difference is that, with regulation, there is a loophole somewhere. With deregulation, there are loopholes everywhere.

    With deregulation there are no loopholes, there are only loopholes when there are regulations.
