No.
I was responding to you calling my analogy uneducated.
You are also wrong about government oversight, net "neutrality" does add it, by the truckloads.
How do you think the government is supposed to enforce the neutrality and keep little old you safe from the evil corporations who want to limit your internet?
They will have to oversee these corporations of course, the same way they oversee television and radio corporations.
With an iron fist.
Face it bub, this so called net neutrality is bad business.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42079668 How does it add oversight? Any content provider that gets a shake down from a ISP will complain.... And they already oversee the ISP's. They are monopolies and the infrastructure that carries the content (bandwidth) is paid for with taxpayer dollars.... You're argument boils down to the town having to work the communal farm and then pay the local grocer who runs the farm to get the produce..... Monopolies implies one company that controls all the avenues of a particular good or service. Considering there are hundreds of internet service providers out there, where's this monopoly? Government oversight comes in the form of regulation as I have explained a number of times. If you don't get it I can't help you. Furthermore if no government oversight is needed why is net neutrality needed? Do you even understand what it does? Because it puts the control of the internet directly in the hands of the government. If you can't understand this one simple thing you won't understand why net neutrality is bad. No ISP monopolies in the US? Do some research... There are a lot but most areas are serviced by one. And Net Neutrality is not a government oversight measure, it's a limitation on companies to expand their revenue streams. It means that they get their profit from their users not the content providers. It does not increase government control over the internet it just requires ISP's to adhere to the basic rule that they provide unhindered access to all things online. I understand that you want to think that any rule increases government power. Net Neutrality did something else. It limited the markets ability to monetize and discriminate your ability to access content online. Something that was generally accepted in the early days of the internet until a corporation saw a means to defy and milk it. Net Neutrality is not a new idea, it's always been here, long before 2015. Hence why the internet worked good. Then ISP's got greedy and tried for new revenue streams. Hence it was deemed necessary to codify it. Exactly But these pigheaded morans are determined to screw themselves and ruin a good thing.
