I don't remember seeing it anywhere: Where is everyone getting the idea that the new regulations will force providers to go full throttle on the "bandwidth for everyone" train? They changed the definition of "broadband" and made it a little more transparent regarding what we can see in relation to what isp's are doing with their client connections. Chasing the definition doesn't mean everyone needs to throttle up. It means that the isp's stop caging their sub par service a broadband service. Please. Someone fix me.

Time Warner has the monopoly in the city I live in and if you live in their district and want something else you're going with Dish or DirecTV for your only other internet/TV options. You could also consider me a conservative and I'm all for this reclassification of ISPs and the FCC stepping in to smack the telecom company dicks into the dirt. I won't feel bad for Verizon until they take some of their billion [+/-] dollar annual profit and push it back into infrastructure. Same goes for Time Warner. http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/vz/financials LCL-Dead fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Feb 27, 2015 |
