Weary Sky,
Here in the USA, where I live, the government is, at least in theory, us. We as citizens, through our representatives, are allowed to decide whatever the hell we please and if we decide that we’re tired of getting reamed by big ISPs and their BS fight against Net Neutrality then we can regulate their skinny asses and they can just STFU.
This is why I vote for candidates who support Net Neutrality like Al Franken and against candidates who think only huge corporations and the 1% get to make all the freakin’ rules. You’re scared of government; I’m also scared of the bankers and corporate type leeches who crashed our economy because they’re greedy assholes and don’t give a shit about anyone but themselves.
I suggest new legislation that empowers state and local governments to create local internet utilities free from any and all harassing and bankrupting lawsuits from said evil ISPs and that the trunks they connect to must not be selectively throttled in any way. I’d be happy to add 50 bucks to my water and sewer bill every month just to be done with this dumb ass problem.
Regulations and new laws come when industries screw us. Too bad a good chunk of Congress thinks these industries are some kind of gods and gleefully do their bidding for campaign contributions.
