    Actually I just found the solution. If the local contract that the individual local governments right up contain a clause that does not allow the isp to charge based on the type of data then the problem is solved. We also do not need any new spending or bureaucracy to enforce it as like now any problems would be handled in court. I am going to study this method further when I get back from vacation but I am convinced that this will be the best way to solve the net neutrality problem permanently.

    Yea I made some calls and the current franchise agreements for these providers ALREADY prevent them from being able to charge based on the type of data. For them to charge for these things it requires Government approval from the commission that handles the franchisee agreement. So currently the only thing they could try to do it limit bandwidth on some traffic if the current franchise agreement does not cover it.

    That's Corporate America for ya. Sadly.... It's a little too late. With COICA on the fringe and the recent bouts of DNS seizures, things don't look very good.

    Make all your last demands for I will forsake you and I'll meet your eyes for the very first time, for the very last.

    >< that means the ISP want to charge you for certain websites you want to use, which means they are invading your privacy to know what you are doing online?

    Sigh
    Who are you? oh thats right your the shit talker... I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over how AWESOME I am.

    The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
