Quote:I want language stating that a carrier (Verizon, Comcast, whoever) cannot deliberately reduce the available bandwith for a service in favor of forcing users to use the carrier's own similar service.
Again... What can be added to the bill? What can be done to avert the social apocalypse? Can you tell me this? Do you even have an idea yourself? Please... do something useful. Tell me a solution and not give me a list of complaints and woes.
Promote your own service all you want, just don't degrade the others. It's like, say, Sprint deliberately downgrading the audio quality of calls from other cellular customers: if they want to talk to you at full quality, they have to use a Sprint phone. It's artificially hindering communications in favor of gaining customers.
Unfortunately, the language I want has already been shot down in the House Energy and Commerce committee.
Quote:I hope so, too, but I've seen similar actions on a smaller scale already (Management forcing tech guys to limit the bandwith to or entirely block an online service in favor of a far inferior in-house application). When it's the big guns of telecom involved, I get worried.------------
Seriously, I think you're all making mountains out of molehills here.
