The internet is a “world language”. How can OUR government have the gall to think that they can regulate it? We are A world power, not THE world power. As far as bandwidth, Comcast has the right to refuse service, just as any business does. It is regulation of SUBJECT MATTER that is more important. My workplace does that, and has a right to, because they’re paying me for a service to them. The government DOES NOT have that right, obviously because I am paying THEM, therefore I regulate them. If an ISP is unfair in my opinion, I fire them and go somewhere else. It is time the government had a review of their performance in adhering to the Constitution, starting with Amendment ONE.

More government = more regulation, less competition and, ultimately, higher costs for EVERYONE.

Anyone who sees this differently needs to pick up a history book. I hate Comcast and others as much as anyone, but the government is always a worse alternative.

Yeah, the government does such a great job regulating anything! What a joke!

Politicians and gubmit bureaucrats need to keep their corrupt hands OFF the internet! Let them get their foot in the door, and before you know it, they’ll be taxing its use and regulating ‘free’ speech on it.

I agree with Joshua with how the cause of the problem is the fact that there are monopolies using our limited resources. I don’t see how they can possibly make a coffee shop be responsible for all of there users. I think there are too many loop holes in order to take away net neutrality.

The net neutrality debate is only the symptoms of the problem and not the cause of it. The cause of the problem is the fact that there are monopolies using our limited resources. How are they being monitored to ensure that they are being competitive, innovative, ethical and fair?

Deal with the current symptoms (but not with a band-aid) and then be sure to fix the root cause of the problem.

True, though a monopoly is just as bad if not worse. A government must be elected and is supposed to do what the people want/need. A monopoly has no such qualms. If you need insulin, you’ll take it in a rusty needle if you must, go steal to pay for it. Internet similarly, we are heavily depended on it. So I ask you, who’s monitoring the monopoly to ensure they are innovative, expanding (laying new more powerful infrastructure), being ethical in their practices?

First of all, i would like to thank the webmaster of TechCrunch for posting such information that concerns most of the internet users.

We are from different parts of this world hailed from different cultures and ideals. But everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.

I agree on some parts of the debate, but disagree to other parts too. Since it concerns the entire virtual community, it should not be the US alone who will be responsible for regulating the issue. I just want emphasize that this is a global concern.
