Anyone afraid what will happen when companies which have monopolies can charge content providers or guarantee packet loss? In a normal "free market", if two companies with a mutual consumer have a tiff, the consumer decides which to support. Where I live, I have one broadband provider. If they get upset with, say, a streaming provider, I cannot choose another BB company because I like the streaming company. I MUST pick another streaming company, as that is the only thing I can "choose". How is this good for the consumer? How is this good for the market? -- TTFN, patrick http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/04/23/the-fcc-is-planning-new-net-neutrality-rules-and-they-could-enshrine-pay-for-play/ Composed on a virtual keyboard, please forgive typos.
