1. Comment - DOJ: 'Net Neutrality' Precludes Broadband Investment, Threatens Free Markets

   (Sep 8, 2007 - 8:34 PM)

   The DOJ tries to compare the internet to the postal system, stating that it is ok that there are different tiers of service (overnight mail, first class mail, fourth class mail, etc.). But their comparison is idiotic. When you send a package via overnight mail, it doesn't matter to whom you send it. Whether the recipient is General Electric or your Aunt Tillie. The package gets there tomorrow. Without "net neutrality", there's no guarantee you can even see "Aunt Tillie's website", if GE (for example) has paid your ISP to not allow your bandwidth to go there. Or if you haven't paid your ISP extra to reach certain sites. That is the issue, and it is VERY different than the different tiers for overall speed to ALL websites equally (dial up vs. DSL vs. Cable vs. Fiber Optic internet service), which I fully support.
