[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2658804, member: 3371"] Why can't we just keep the same internet rules we have had for years? I'll tell you why. The telecoms sued in federal court and won. The courts said as long as the FCC isn't regulating the ISPs as utilities they didn't have the authority to enforce the NN rules we have had until now. Now, what does that tell you about what the telecoms are after? They spent millions in the court system to sue for the right to throttle traffic and block websites because they expect to make billions off of selling access to it. If you like the internet you've had so far you ad least need to recognize where the threat is coming from. It's the big telecoms who pursued this in the court system for years and overturned existing law. [/QUOTE]
