We're screwed. Court rules against net neutrality.

This is a conundrum for Libertarians:

Freedom of info flow vs freedom of business practices.

Not really since the folks who love to call themselves that are corporate freedom > everything else.

You give them too much credit, as shown by the 'destroy this democracy' posts above.

The main pro-democracy development in this era of money has been the internet.

This is EXACTLY the fear mongering that I'm talking about. None of that has happened, none of it is going to happen. The FCC wouldn't allow such behavior. It's just not going to happen. It isn't in a providers best interest to even do what you're proposing. They don't care where you go, they just care about their infrastructure and providing the best service possible for the price.

Net Neutrality is about killing the performance of the internet by mandating all traffic be treated as best effort. That's what it boils down to.

Ask ANY person that works in networking if this is a good idea. Andybody that actually builds and architects service provider networks. Unanimously they will say it's a terrible idea because of the performance consequences and added cost it would bring. We don't appose it because of the politics, we oppose it because it's a bad idea for technology and The Internet.

The Internet has been working. Its only recently become "a problem" because the ISPs are trying to expand into providing services beyond Internet.
