To reuse an old Christmas commercial tagline.
It's Christmas! It's fun.
So please confine your stupid religious issues to things nobody gives a shit about.
Pakistan, please nuke India the next time the infidels give Islam a hard time.
Iraq, Iran called you all pig eating scum.
Isreal, Turkey secretly tainted this year' gelfite fish with camel dung.
Mexico, the US says Catholics eat children on Christmas.
Northern Ireland, the French say their saints can whip your saints any day.
Let's all remember, revisionist history aside, a relative handful of pissed off white guys sailed out of the frozen north and subjugated the entire planet and kept it long as it damn well suited them.
Guess what? They're starting to get pissed again...
Um, I see everyone using the 'Online movies, music, and programs will fail if this is done'. Can you tell me why a telco cares what happens to a movie studio? No money changes hands there or you can bet video or whatever would be exempt from the cap.
You wanna know how to REALLY take care of this? Vote the scum that 'represent' you out of office. Ha, ha, ha! That'll never happen, So sit down and learn to enjoy what you are allowed to have.
Business owns lawmakers. Lawmakers decide that fewer companies equal greater competition. You reelect them. Looks simple enough to me.
Actually with all the dark fiber in the world and the billions of dollars of equipment sitting idle, I just ain't believing that the cost is so great to the cable companies that they need to limit total bytes per month.
Of course this idea is brought to you by the people who took AT&T and ran it into the ground in a few years by making stupid decisions.
I am sitting in Nanjing china and get ADSL for the equvilent of $20.00 per month. And except for the occasional spat where the Great Firewall disallows access to this or that site, I have no limits on what I use.
So, are you suggesting that the US infrastructure is more limited than China's? Or is the difference that the utilities here are run for the public good and in the US they are run to maximize profit?
