More people like Ted Kaczynski will rise up. Ted (the Unibomber) Kacynski feared the coming jobpocalypse which motivated him to write his manifesto and commit the atrocities that he did.

I've read the like of Hazlitt, Mises and Adams and am a huge fan of Ron Paul but the swift change in technology and its impact on jobs does concern me since our other systems (e.g. our economic and educational systems) are not fast enough to adapt and there are very few people (esp. our political leaders) who see this quickly approaching present danger, let alone have any idea on what to do about it.
I'm with you on treating them like other utilities. The concern is it will hurt high bandwidth legit companies e.g. Netflix. Just look at the backlash Canada stirred up after they forced data caps. The "hogs" won't just be the pirates. It will be all content providers as the ability to introduce large bandwidth applications and services increases and becomes more common.
This statement is filled with such bias and ignorance I don't even know where to begin... so I won't. I'll leave you with this link to what Robert Sapolsky has to say about faith and contradictions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=832bD0yK05s
I didn't read anything in the bill that said ISPs couldn't tier their pricing structure based on data caps. While perhaps not a crucial as the ISPs limiting content this artificial barrier also prohibits innovation and free enterprise. I understand the ISPs argument that it isn't fair that a few players can use up all the bandwidth but I would be more willing to go along with them if I didn't think they were just trying to screw me. Show me your infrastructure investments vs. your other expenditures and we can talk.
