The FCC plans to do away with rules barring internet providers from blocking or slowing down access to online content. The FCC would also eliminate a rule barring providers from prioritizing their own content.
In the absence of a firm ban on these actions, providers will be required to publicly disclose any instance of blocking, throttling or paid prioritization. It will then be evaluated based on whether or not the activity is anti-competitive


And how will repealing net neutrality affect me?
First, it's important to say what won't happen: Billion-dollar services like Netflix are not going to disappear overnight without net neutrality. They have large enough audiences and bank accounts to survive in a changing regulatory landscape.
Instead, net neutrality advocates worry how repeal will impact the next Netflix. Upstart companies may struggle to strike deals with providers and pay up to have their content delivered faster. That could fundamentally alter the future internet landscape.
The repeal could change how customers are billed for services, both for good and bad. T-Mobile, for example, was criticized by net neutrality supporters for effectively making it cheaper for customers to stream videos from Netflix and HBO, putting other video services at a disadvantage.
Without net neutrality, internet providers may pursue similar offers more aggressively, which would likely be viewed as a positive by consumers looking to save money on their streaming media.
Yet, some fear it's also possible internet providers will one day begin charging customers more to access services like Netflix that are currently included as part of your monthly bill.

really? all the experts say that by repealing healthcare laws, it has left millions of families not being able to afford healthcare, but i guess a degenerate on sbr knows better

and also all the experts that can actually understand the tax bill, which was deliberately complicated so that people like you couldnt understand it, point out that it doesnt help the middle class, it just helps the rich


i would like you to prove me wrong by providing your tax returns, before the tax bill and after, in a years time, and show me all the savings you are making


it's ok, the public are sheep for the most part but atleast they've started punishing the republicans, since trump got elected, republicans lost all three senate elections. soon republicans will not have majority in senate and house of representatives, and even if trump is not impeached, he will either not run, or lose the next elections. I hope the next governments fixes the mess trump made

Wrong, I had great health insurance with Blue Cross before Obamacare came into play.. Premiums tripled and I said fock it I'm not signing up.. I get fined every year for not having health insurance.. Trump had nothing to do with that.. Friends and family in the same boat, hate what Obama did with Healthcare.. Shiit on the middle working class...

Tax budget will be great for the economy, create more jobs, and give the middle working class tax breaks.. Demcrates are calling this bill a disaster and they didn't even read it.. I'm looking forward to this proposed tax bill to pass...

I'll be very happy I won't have to pay a huge fine every year now for not having Obama shit care too... That's what I like the most..


Economy doing better then ever, jobs coming, businesses not leaving any more, America winning.. Enjoy the ride...

Mark Cuban Still Has Absolutely No Idea How Net Neutrality Works
from the double-down-on-misunderstanding dept

To be very clear, there are numerous subjects Mark Cuban has a very solid understanding of, ranging from his support of patent reform and the benefits of improving antiquated film release windows to highlighting the SEC's disdain for the 14th and 4th Amendments during his fight over insider trading allegations. But when it comes to net neutrality, modern telecom competition, and the problems caused by letting unchecked duopolists like Comcast run amok, Cuban has pretty consistently made it abundantly clear he has absolutely no earthly idea what he's talking about.

The latest case in point, Cuban trotted out this little gem last week while public outrage at the FCC's grotesque handout to the telecom sector was peaking:

After taking a pretty severe beating on Twitter, Cuban subsequently doubled down, proclaiming that net neutrality should be killed because, you know, nipplegate happened thirteen years ago:

So look, if you've read our primer on net neutrality or paid attention to our coverage of this subject for the last decade, you should know by now that net neutrality violations are just a symptom of the disease that is a lack of competition in the broadband sector. Net neutrality rules were a temporary, imperfect solution to the fact that nobody in either party seriously wants to address this problem because it would stop campaign contributions from flowing. As a result, our state and federal legislative system is systemically infected by lawmakers willing to sell out the public and the internet for some pocket change.

The result of this isn't pretty. AT&T and Verizon enjoy monopoly control over cell tower backhaul and business data services (BDS). Cable companies like Comcast enjoy a growing monopoly over fixed-line broadband because telcos aka "the market" are refusing to invest in rural and second-tier urban markets. With no competition and apathetic regulators, we've witnessed privacy infractions, net neutrality violations, legendarily-awful customer service, deployment redlining, and endless price hikes (again, all just symptoms of a lack of competition and regulatory capture) time, and time, and time again.

This isn't magically fixed by gutting some modest consumer protections. And keeping net neutrality intact certainly doesn't "put Donald Trump in control of the Internet." There's simply no logical basis for that claim. In fact, passing net neutrality rules is a perfect example of one of the few times over the last twenty years that the FCC actually listened to consumers and was willing to stand up to the nation's powerful telecom duopoly. Punishing them for this based entirely on your gut feelings and misunderstanding of how the telecom sector works only helps ensure that won't be happening again anytime soon.

Cuban (who has sidelined as a commercial pitchman for AT&T), subsequently tried to clarify that the real threat to the internet isn't lumbering telecom monopolies, but Apple and Google app stores:

This idea that the real "neutrality problem" is Google and Apple ("search neutrality" or "app store neutrality") has long been an ISP-driven bogeyman we've deflated time and time again. Users have a choice not to use the Google or Android app stores or devices. They have a choice of search engines. But in telecom, there is no choice. If you're lucky, you have a choice of a lumbering cable company or a telco that refuses to upgrade its network. Usually they're engaged in non-price competition because, again, we've let them dictate state and federal protectionism for a generation.

Cuban is part of a subset of folks for whom net neutrality challenges their belief that all regulation is automatically always bad and the government is entirely incapable of ever doing good. The problem is that's not only overly simplistic (it prevents you from actually weighing the merits of each instance of regulation intelligently), it doesn't really work in the telecom sector. If you obliterated the FCC tomorrow, you'd still be stuck with a lumbering monopoly with a stranglehold over the last mile. A stranglehold that bipartisan corruption on the state and federal level would ensure would never be threatened by disruption or innovation.

this f'n reminds me of my days as a young horny little porn addict in the making, when me and my grade school friends would ride our bikes for hours in the hunt for discarded, weathered, often water/rain damaged porno magazines around our neighborhood.....

It was on the verge. That's what prompted the laws in 2015. It wasn't just some random shit they decided to do. There were proposals for a fast lane of content for companies who wanted to pay more. Plus, would you really trust the ISPs when they say they'll play fair - when most of us already only have 1 or 2 choices pending on the location?
