I am The Wrench in all your plans....
I think people are short sighted because people (for the most part) really dont fully understand how this will affect internet access for the daily consumer. I dont think that the people who are for keeping net neutrality have given a good explanation. most people need an actual chart and breakdown of what will happen with these rules being changed.
From what I am trying to understand to help breakdown things (people, let me know if I am wrong, and adjust as necessary. We all need to understand this):
So, say you have AT&T (or fill in your own provider), (just throwing in numbers for illustration)
-Flat rate of $50 to access the internet (basic sites)
- +$5.00/month to access busy forums full throttle (The Coli, etc.)
- +$15.00/month to access major streaming sites full throttle (YouTube, WatchESPN, sports streaming, movie streaming, porn, etc.)
- +$10.00/month to access social media sites full throttle (Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc)
plus a few other categories that these companies will break down to nickel and dime all of us.
Basically, for those categories, they will be run at slow (3g speed?, AOL dial-up speed?) speed to force people to pay up to use them.
The other thing that I dont understand is: will these companies try to hit us with these fees per device (home laptop, Roku, PlayStation, each phone on plan, etc.) ? My guess is they will def do that to milk more money from us
It's not just the fees I'm worried about it's the blatant censorship that they have access to now to as well...
