- Comcast will start imposing a fee on Level 3, a company
that Netflix hired to deliver movies and TV shows to web customers. And
why shouldn't they? Comcast built and maintains the broadband infrastructure.
Level 3 is looking to double its internet traffic. Comcast
has contract that charge other companies for the same service. Netflix
already accounts for 20% of downloads between the peak hours of 8pm to
10 pm.

- 'Net Neutrality' is sold as keeping the internet free.
Yet it is really a device for more government control. Earlier
this year, a federal judge ruled in favor of Comcast, who was sued
for charging higher prices to some internet users, and the FCC stepped
in and regulated the charges, under the banner of protecting the public
from price gouging and private companies shutting down service. However,
Comcast focused charges on a few individual users who were sharing gigantic
files and clogging the broadband system. If someone requires more from
a provider, why shouldn't they pay for it? This is simple free market economics.
In a free market, the public enjoys competitive lower pricing, and fewer,
if any regulations. Remember that J.D. Rockefeller, the monopoly mastermind,
said that competition was a sin.
-
- Jay Rockefeller, the FCC and a number of other federal
agencies support 'net neutrality' because they want to control all media
in order to shape the way people think. Independent media is a threat
to social engineering. Google supports 'net neutrality' because they
get a free ride off of the companies that paid for the infrastructure.
Cable TV companies support 'net neutrality' because their business
is dying as more people turn to the internet.
-
- Because this is a complicated issue, many 'net neutrality'
advocates have had succes. Watch this video to see Jay Rockefeller
use scare mongering to implement 'net neutrality'.

- The cost of viewing TV programs and movies on the Web
may be passed on to the consumer. But if 'net neutrality' is accomplished,
the price will be far greater: government controlled internet. Is
free TV really worth it?
