Now that Comcast got Netflix to fall in line, watch them shake down the rest of the ISPs in turn - Charter, Uverse, etc. But first, Netflix subscribers can expect degradation.
You'd be lucky to see a star. Wood burning was the main energy source. Together with pine tar cooking you could barely see your hand in front of your face. People really don't understand how much their environment has improved.
The only solution is to separate powers and limit them to the extent they are stuck in a permanent battle that is evenly matched. This is the basic concept upon which the constitution of the US was created as well as most other constitutions. The flaws and failures come from not properly balancing and separating the powers at play.
The system is designed correctly. However, the judicial branch has abdicated its responsibility to rein in the inevitable excesses and power grabs of the other two branches. Everyone deplores the unconstitutional outcomes, unless they coincide with their particular hobby-horse (war declaration, social security, drugs, health care, marriage, etc.). It is these entrenched vested interests that have to be dispatched.
Think again. The only way to get money out of politics it to take away from politicians the power to grant favors to special interests. The Constitution took great care with this, but the Supreme Court has absolutely abdicated its responsibility to hew to the highest law.
I am pleased about their latest decision, however, because it might force some action at last regarding the excessive power of Congress to anoint winners and losers, and thereby attract money from the PACs.
Rather than asking whether they are equal, we should instead think in terms of how can we verify what they're worth? Is a source quantifiable?
Before we can verify, or evaluate or quantify, the subject matter must first be published. That right (to publish) is absolute, no matter who you are. Everybody also has the right to verify, and therefore the right to publish is necessary.
You can blame the cops, manufacturers, criminals all you want, but the root cause of these shenanigans is that the courts are allowing it to happen.
When we have arrived at the point where everyone shrugs their shoulders, and says "Slap on the wrist, at most", then we find ourselves in a sad situation.
The third branch of government is asleep at the wheel, or holding its ankles, depending on your choice of metaphor. But the cue from SCOTUS is, do what you want. They have abdicated their responsibility as a bulwark against the inevitable excesses of the executive and legislative branches.
Time for some real consequences for contempt of Constitution and sworn oath to uphold same.

So Snowden has not lived up to your expectations of him? Meanwhile, what have you done?
Instead of sneering from you perch, get involved yourself.
Trurl and Klapaucius beg to differ...
Sad that Tories are still among us.
This should be extrapolated to the classroom. In particular, to boys in elementary and middle school.
Well, that is a stupid and bad plan.
Agreed.

There I was, thinking that I was paying my ISP for the bandwidth. Wait a minute, what is that bill I get every month?
Once upon a time, cable TV did not have ads, either. One day we will look back fondly at a Netflix (subsidiary of Comcast) without ads.

The only solution I can think of is to attack this evil at its source by getting money out of politics.

While gag orders exist, we can believe nothing from an American, or a company domiciled in America, or a country beholden to America.
Sorry.
