Quote from KreebelGames»What will happen to the internet we know and love?
Nothing. I live in Canada. the FCC vote won't change anything for me either way. I should mention that there is a lot of confusion about what Net neutrality is. Net neutrality is basically the idea that ISPs should enable access to all content regardless of the source, and without favouring or throttling particular kinds of traffic. the idea of "Internet slow lanes" is an idiotic metaphor on the level of that one about how the "Internet is just tubes". Many ISPs throttle Torrent traffic, for example, and that is really the idea here.
"End Of the Internet" is a terrible, sensational title that doesn't even come close to describing the reality. The Internet won't "End"- technically in the U.S ISPs are already throttling specific kinds of traffic, so the entire vote is about getting them to stop doing that.
This could be the end of gaming and the internet as we know it. The goverment wants to shut down social sites, and make slow-speed internet traps. In less then 24 hours we will know if the internet we know and love may end. Don't let the government take over our lives. If you love the gaming internet fans as much as I do take a stand.
This is just nonsense. The "government" doesn't "want" to do this. The entire thing is about ISPs throttling specific kinds of traffic, the biggest among them is throttling torrent traffic to subscribers. I'll ignore that most people apparently don't read the contract they sign when getting Internet service that says they can do that as part of the contract, because the idea is to somehow eliminate ISP companies ability to include those sorts of contract items. The ISPs might "want" to do that, and the primary reason is because the people using crap like torrents tend to monopolize connections which is particularly bad for cable connections, where a entire neighborhood is effectively sharing the same connection. So you can't download your precious ISO files or whatever because they have to preserve the service of other subscribers. DSL/ADSL is a different story- the connection should always be the same and though there may be stipulations in the contract the real issue is that there isn't a very good reason to do that.
