even GOOGLE is asking everyone to help out

 

I give up. Three tries to answer. All disappear into somewhere.

 

I'm stubborn. Yet another try.


Net neutrality is the concept that all web sites are given equal download speed. Those opposed to it want a system that makes site owners pay a premium for their site to load quickly.

 

If you sell bike parts on line, and don't hand over the shekels your site will load slowly, causing customers to say, "To heck with it," and try another site.

 

Hand over enough shekels and your site loads quickly, giving you better access to customers. Net neutrality also has implications for free interchange of ideas, opinions, and news. Seldom do those who blog have enough budget to buy fast service.

 

It would also affect sites l.i.k.e CBRForum.com, as they would have to pay a premium for faster service. IIRC Republicans in general oppose netneutrality, Democrats support it. Could be wrong on that, though.

 

Phoo. Turns out the work 'l.i.k.e' was what screwed it all up.

 

Last I heard they were also wanting 2 different internets. 1 would be for business and such and would be lightning fast ( the new system) and the other would be what we have now and just for us common folk or peasants I guess you could call us...

 

The crap the big corporations are pulling is just that..crap. They are trying to ween out the little man.

 

Oh I think you have them all wrong, they dont want to ween you out, they want you to pay more for what you do. If you need it more than me, you will pay more than me.... and so on.
