How do you measure baseline performance? If there's a fast lane then there's a slow lane, logic dictates that.
What ISPs have been doing since the FCC killed net neutrality is slowed their investments in their networks while demand for faster speeds rises. At the same time, they've been putting in arbitrary usage caps. You're saying that they prioritize certain traffic, so that traffic gets put in the fast lane, which reduces bandwidth in the slow lane, while they don't upgrade their networks. At the end of the day, the "baseline" then is actually shrinking instead of growing.
Combine that with zero rating for apps/services/websites that have paid your ISP. Any companies that can't pay your ISP are then at a significant disadvantage to the incumbents.
Easy, just put in the terms of service and the fine line on commercials that access to certain computers on the internet is limited to ensure the quality of their network. Done. No false advertising as long as they disclose it.
Legal now because of the death of net neutrality. (Thanks Trump!)
Source? You can't be found guilty of a crime unless the state has some sort of evidence you committed that crime, even if you plead guilty. Sometimes a guilty plea is not enough to be convicted.
If you were arrested for something that wasn't drugs, and you didn't have drugs in your possession, you can't plead down to a drug crime.
Second of all, who in their right mind would plead down to a drug crime? They carry additional penalties versus other crimes that follows you for the rest of your life. Ineligible for financial aid to better yourself after getting out of prison. Nobody is going to hire someone with a drug conviction, they would much rather hire someone convicted of a violent crime like assault!
I'm calling bullshit and think you're trying to demonize jailed victims of the war on drugs.
Artists and labels don't have that much recourse. Most big venues in the US are owned by LiveNation, the parent company of Ticketmaster. You play at a Ticketmaster venue, Ticketmaster gets to sell the tickets.
The FTC will only be able to enforce deceptive practices. If Comcast buries in their TOS that they can slow down connections as they please, it wonâ(TM)t be a violation.
Comcast was throttling BitTorrent and lying about it to its customers before the FCC regulations. Comcast also intentionally let their interconnections get saturated to slow down Netflix to get more money. Weâ(TM)ve seen it happen before, it will happen again.
Unless the company goes bankrupt. The company is sold off to pay creditors and shareholders are the absolute last in line to get paid, assuming anything is left. Usually thereâ(TM)s no money left over, and youâ(TM)ve lost your ownership.
They need to get the generic approved by the FDA by doing expensive studies, even though itâ(TM)s the same chemical formula thatâ(TM)s already been approved. Itâ(TM)s an incredibly stupid law thatâ(TM)s only on the books because of lobbying by large drug companies.
Going to a.EU website is an assurance that the website is based in the EU and is accountable to EU laws. UK voted to leave EU largely because they didnâ(TM)t want to follow EU law anymore. So I donâ(TM)t see any issue with this. The rules were there when they voted to leave, so in part their vote was to give up their domains.
Donâ(TM)t you remember Comcast throttling all upstream BitTorrent traffic and then lying about it to their customers when they got caught? That wasnâ(TM)t a problem?
Are you arguing that an appeal for someone on death row is pointless? You do realize their have been numerous people put to death that were innocent completely.
It may not be stupid, but it makes American companies less competitive compared to their foreign competitors. A British company will pay 20% tax on its profits from the UK, 35% tax on its profits from the US, and 15% on its profits from Germany. However, if this company was headquartered in the US instead, it will simply pay 35% tax on all profits worldwide, making the US company less competitive.
Don't know why this is marked as being a Troll, it's factual information. The US is the only developed nation in the world that taxes companies based on worldwide profits, not just profits earned in the US. Yes, you get a tax credit for income tax you pay to other countries, but the end result is you end up paying the high US corporate income tax rate on income earned everywhere in the world, whereas foreign companies only pay the high US tax rate on income earned in the US, and the lower tax rates of income earned in other countries. This makes foreign companies a competitive advantage over US companies. Not a great policy in my opinion.
Tell that to the third parties companies that sell the red-light cameras. There's been numerous instances of the red-light cameras issuing false citations, and those companies pressuring localities to reduce the amount of time a yellow light is shown, in order to get more revenue at the expense of safety.
The legal reasoning is that the government can't compel you to lie. If one disagrees with this notion, I believe that the concept of perjury should go out the window.
I think it's quite relevant considering it's the same company. Those below the line fees aren't required legislatively. Regarding taxes, I don't think any locality in the United States charges a 120% tax on providing phone service.
Who cares if they can prove it, or have any evidence. Most of the people at Gitmo have been there for more than 13 years without charge or trial, let alone any evidence against them.
But you're okay with paying for that person to be housed, fed, and receive medical services in the jail? I'm pretty sure just subsidizing the health care is cheaper than all that...
The New York Times is a corporation and shouldn't have rights. Therefore the government should be able to compel them to print only pro-government articles and editorials.
They say this because the All Writs Act is only supposed to be used to fill a gap that Congress has not addressed. If there is national debate about something, and Congress refuses to take up the issue, it can be said that Congress has addressed the issue and has rejected a law mandating backdoors, meaning the All Writs Act could not be used.
He's lucky there wasn't an emergency and that his device did not interfere with a 911 call. This is reckless behavior, and he already knew the seriousness of this crime because of the prior conviction.
By the way, are you allowed to have a beer on the Chicago public transit? If so, that's fantastic!

This is no free market. It's a natural monopoly.

Plenty of undocumented immigrants aren't criminals. Immigration violations are mostly civil offenses.
Under your reasoning, nobody should be forced to build wheelchair ramps for apartment buildings for rent, because no one is forcing you to live there.

I take it you've never seen a Google Fiber bill before. This is how mine looks:
Gigabit Ethernet $70.00
Taxes, Fees, Surcharges $0.00
Total: $70.00

Sure, and what happens when someone dies because a jammer is dropping calls after someone has been shot, and therefore no one can call an ambulance?
