content: Reporting in.  True hardcore libertarian / actually anarchist.  The FCC wanting to impose any opinion on how the internet runs is very dangerous for it.  Look through my comments.  Not a shill, just consistent.  The danger of the net-neutrality argument is it assumes the other side is wrong or a shill if you take a stance supporting the freedom ISPs had in the 90s that started the internet boom that allowed www to happen.  I do want smaller ISPs to thrive though and I've been putting in a lot of thought into how we can do that.  I don't have answers.  If anyone does feel free to comment (especially if it involves increasing freedom of the different providers on the net).  Ultimately cable needs to get run so maybe there can be a change in common local policy that would help. Edit: Let me say this negative about comcast to prove I'm not a shill.  I don't believe in censorship.  I know some racists and I may not agree with everything they say but I will support their right to say it.  I have the same feelings toward comcast when it comes to traffic shaping.  If it weren't comcast doing it I would support a small ISP doing it so I will support comcast's right to make themselves look unattractive to netflix customers.  What I severely dislike about comcast and many other ISPs is their decision to require people to use their routers and then reduce their configurability.  I found out when maintenance was done outside my house that computers on my local network could not get local IPs.  I couldn't get my computers to talk to one another on my intranet.  It's then I realized that my router was no more than a network switch.  Technology companies making the choice to close customers out of the technology is another danger because they sell you a router or have you pay a fee to use it but it's really their device.  Proper transfer of ownership never took place.  People need to fight against this and comcast is the first person to bring this fight too and if you can get a local isp for a good rate that lets you use standard equipment with their service you should do that.  There are likely more isps available to you than you realize.  They are all likely not economical but its worth a look.  The other way to fight them is to be an obnoxious customer that demands to use technology how it's meant to be used and not just within their limited use case.  Call their support line.  Make work for them.  Run bandwidth through their lines.  Harass their employees.  But whatever you do don't invite the government into the internet like it's a surely good thing with zero consequences. Also to prove I'm an actual anarchist I will leave you with this admonition.  A true man is not afraid to kill people who oppress them.  Those are politicians.
