pcmag.com — The Net neutrality bill took kind of a weird turn despite its defeat, when the public got to hear the mouthpiece for the telecom industry, Senator Ted Stevens. [...] It seems like a miracle that he can even find the crapper.

The net result of this will be that everyone who thinks there is something "moral" about forcing multi-billion dollar telecoms to subsidize services to multi-billion dollar content providers will demagogue this man's ignorance until they have the internet equivalent of the 1996 telecommunications act... and broadband will remain the great American Dream.

Who paid for the fiber? I did jackass. We subsidized them and granted them easements, land, oligopolies so we don't have 10,000 wires from 10,000 ISPs running to our houses. If someone sucks up too much bandwidth, there is a solution, it's called charging people for bandwidth.

I'm just gonna go ahead and download the internet while I still can. I can then surf it offline after the telcos have ruined it. Ok, maybe I need to download some internet updates sometimes.

The esteemed Sentor from Alaska seems to be saying that consummers are having their access to the Net diminished because commercial interests are stuffing the pipes delivering massive amounts of data, such as books and videos. Maybe I'm missing something here, but to whom exactly are the commercial interests delivering the data?
