there are tons of isp providers that you can go to. Internet service is just that a service. It is not a need such as power or water. let the market run free.

I am not saying that the gubermint should regulate the net. Once they start, where will they stop? Answer - After it is heavily taxed and when it is one giant cluster fvck that nobody can use or would want to.

David Coursey, the person who wrote that, sounds like a pathetic whiner. Just another example of the "I am being oppressed. Help Me, Big Brother!" mentality.
Disgusting. To put a more intelligent and less cynical light on it, in a free market, there will always be plenty of volunteers to fill a demand, because it is in their best interest to not piss off the consumer. Realizing that no matter the power play, the consumer is king. |

I believe the old saying is 'It's too late, the genie is out of the bottle.'
Even Red China will one day be free due to the proliferation of nuclear weapons...naw!...the proliferation of the Internet! With this subject, as with all other matters of national economy, LET THE MARKETPLACE DECIDE! It's gotten us where we are, it will get us the rest of the way home! Besides, as Milton Friedman always said - 'The government should not be in the business of picking out winners and losers.' Eric The('NuffSaid,Dr.Milton!)Hun[>]:)] |

The Internet is one of the few Government sponsored programs (ARPANET) that actually did something useful. I would be leary of them getting their hands back in it, as they'd only screw it up.

The liberal news media would love to have the govt regulate the internet. It would be like back to the old days when we get our sanitized news from such talking heads as Tom Brojaw, Dan Blather etc where only they can present/intrepet the news. The genie is out of the bottle, and there is no way to put him back.

Just sent in my vote. It seems to me that centralized control doesn't work all that well - i.e. the fall of communism. The Internet has done quite well so far under the laws of supply and demand so let's LEAVE IT alone!
If you don't like the ISP you have, in most places you have at least one other choice. Course I'm lucky and happy that I have a small cable Internet provider who is rock solid dependable and seemingly financially stable. |
