    That would be Perceived value then, and it has little to do with actual value.

    "The worth that a product or service has in the mind of the consumer. The consumer's perceived value of a good or service affects the price that he or she is willing to pay for it. For the most part, consumers are unaware of the true cost of production for the products they buy. Instead, they simply have an internal feeling for how much certain products are worth to them. Thus, in order to obtain a higher price for their products, producers may pursue marketing strategies to create a higher perceived value for their products. "

    >Sorry, but ISPs are common carriers

    Unfortunately they are not. Nor do they want to be
    But really in no uncertain terms, and we have gone over this time and time again on this site, ISP's are not Common Carriers.

    They are considered ESP's (Enhanced Service Providers) by the FCC>.
    So lets please not start this nonsense up again.

    Are you talking about the parts that are run on public and private property (not owned by the isp), Because if that's the way you want to play. I am ripping every cable down that is not on THEIR property.

    You see they were granted easements in return for providing us a service. When they start limiting that service they should lose their right of way and then they won't have a network anymore.

    No they won't as they probably already have them and this regulation does not effect the ones in place. And if they have to get a new one it will be more efficient.

    You mean Fairbanks, with the 9th worst short term particulate pollution in America. At times in the winter the air is worse then in Beijing. So, no, don't tell them to fuck off, ask them for fucking help.

    Your comment about Alaska with a failure to mention Fairbanks proves you know absolutely nothing about this issue and should not speak again.
    I mean really, they have worse pollution then Beijing.

    And why would having a more efficient wood burning stove be a bad thing in those climates?

    No where in the summary does it say anything about the EPA banning anything.

    It mentions local governments banning them so maybe it's just a reading comprehension thing, I for one blame our schools.

    True, but the EPA approved stoves are more efficient so it really doesn't help any arguments against this regulation anyway.
