Only YOU Can Protect Net Neutrality

[Hobbes]

Those points are taken directly from all 5 Commissioners' opinions as posted at the link that I sent. According to the Commissioners' official opinions, rate regulation is in the order.

Of course, the Commissioners' opinions are "biased political propaganda".

Ajit Pai, the verizon lawyer on the commission, claims that outlawing paid prioritization is rate setting
That's not rate setting.

Here are the chairmans comments

It clearly says

For example, there will be no rate regulation, no tariffs, no last-mile unbundling.

 

[Hobbes]

That is all backed up with text of Commissioners' opinions, which is the best we have at the moment from the most transparent administration in history.

Do you have the text of the 3 commissioners who voted yes or just the 2 who voted no?

Yes. They are all at that link.

 

[Hobbes]

Yes. They are all at that link.

That's a document dump.
Can you give me the link to the text of the chairman's comments where he says they are going to set rates?

Ajit Pai, the verizon lawyer on the commission, claims that outlawing paid prioritization is rate setting

He says "[The] Order goes out of its way to reject calls to forbear from section 201's authorization of rate regulation and expressly invites parties to file such complaints with the Commission."

He says "[The] Order goes out of its way to reject calls to forbear from section 201's authorization of rate regulation and expressly invites parties to file such complaints with the Commission."

That's quoting Ajit Pai, the verizon lawyer that was nominated to the board.
Ajit Pai equates outlawing paid prioritization to rate setting which it is not.


You said

The commissioner clearly says they are forebearing rate regulation.

Are you just taking Ajit Pai's word for everything?
You might as well ask verizon.

 

[Hobbes]

He says "[The] Order goes out of its way to reject calls to forbear from section 201's authorization of rate regulation and expressly invites parties to file such complaints with the Commission."

page 2 of your link...

But even the agency’s suggestion that it today “cannot . . . envision” ex ante rate

regulations “in this context” says nothing of what a future Commission—perhaps this very

Commission—could envision.

Why shouldn't I have to pay more for faster or preferred service?

Why shouldn't I have to pay more for faster or preferred service?

The strong suspicion is that they won't install faster lanes, they will slow all the other lanes down and call the lane they didn't slow down the fast lane.

Netflix agreed to pay more to comcast and magically their speed started to increase again right afterwards.
Netflix and a lot of other people think that comcast deliberately throttled netflix traffic in order to extract payment from netflix.

It's kind of like the mafioso that says "hey, that's a nice movie business you have there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it".

Because it is unfair in a socialist country for you to have an advantage or be burdened with a disadvantage. It takes a village and all that crap...
