I'm all in favour of net neutrality, but I'm sorry, no private company could possibly screw up things as bad as when the government gets involved and starts "regulating". If the US government were a company it would have gone out of business long ago...but as things stand, that may happen son enough.
Thank you eldavojohn for that reply! It's nice to know that/. is not read entirely by a bunch of bitter, middle-age men, pissed off that they have been in the same dead-end job for 30+ years, and think that there's no reason for them to put away their PDP-11's for some newfangled POS. Seriously suso, you may not be a 60yo greybeard with a chip on your shoulder, but you sure fucking sound like it. Let's pretend we're civilized, helpful, and compassionate human beings for once.
