A Word about Net Neutrality

What they said:

The Justice Department said imposing a Net neutrality regulation could hamper development of the Internet and prevent service providers from upgrading or expanding their networks. It could also shift the “entire burden of implementing costly network expansions and improvements onto consumers,” the agency said in its filing.

Actually, what the Justice Department said was, “Remember what a dipshit our old boss was and how he would rollover and spit out whatever BS his boss told him to say? The Justice Department does the same thing for big corporate donors who are willing to turn over personal data to us.”

The notion that the development or expansion of the Internet has been somehow impeded by its current neutrality or that the burden of network expansion or improvement currently is not on the shoulders of consumers is simply preposterous. Already I'm stuck with limited options for reliable Internet access. (Can anyone suggest a better DSL option than my current AT&T account? That's not a rhetorical question.) If there is better service, I'll move to it. That's the reality of the free market. To say that net neutrality impedes competition or development is simply obfuscation.
