So, has anyone actually looked into this? Because I have, and those of you who don't live in the US, let me just tell you that you are probably far luckier than we might be in less than four months.
The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) is attempting to implement Net Neutrality. In short, they want to throttle any and all speeds, remove the "unlimited" data plans for residents, and force people to pay more for better speeds, or rather, "hyper-speed lanes".
First it was SOPA, then PIPA, then some other BS that would censor most of internet, and now they want to completely annihilate anyone and everyone who uses internet.
This is absolute BS, and everyone who resides in the US needs to stand up, and voice their opinion! Do you want to lose your Netflix streaming speed and go back to dial-up days? Your Netflix will be freezing every second to buffer the next second of video for about five minutes. Okay maybe not that slow, but still slow! Or if you want fast, you'll have to pay extra.
Oh, and what about gamers? Servers will cost more, therefore smaller servers will go under, while big servers will get overpopulated faster and leave people out of the picture. That's right, your favorite multiplayer games might not exist anymore. This isn't a joke, most communities that run servers across multiple games, they might die out completely because they can't keep up with the server costs!
John Oliver has a great video of this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpbOEoRrHyU
You can go directly to the FCC website at fcc.gov/comments and file a comment for proceeding 14-28. All you need to do is leave a minimum five word comment, and it'll count.
The internet cannot be made "neutral", because there will be nothing neutral about it. We need the internet to stay open and cheap for everyone in the US. This doesn't affect just the big company providers, it affects any and all providers. This monopoly is just becoming a bigger monopoly.
Stand up, fight back, and kick the FCC in the nuts! Nutflix!
