Open Internet?

Thank you, Tom!

It did take a day for Tom’s staff to reply.  Automated?  Probably not.

They surely have an email parser that puts them into different buckets depending on what people say.  I don’t know.  This “net neutrality” conflict might have created a bunch of jobs in Washington because people on the internet send emails, lots of them.  Somebody has to deal with it.

We really need to specify that the internet is a utility.

It’s like water and electricity.

It’s a common carrier.

Nobody should be able to pay extra to push their information through lines faster than some other person’s information.

The lines should transfer all the information at the best possible rate without regard to class of service.  This is how it has always been done.  Well, Netflix did pay some people who knew some people for faster access to some people’s cable customers.

The internet is a utility.

The TCP/IP protocols are well defined.

The “internet” is actually just IP.

Internet Protocol (IP) says what the bytes mean when they’re sent.

I believe every datagram should be treated equally, according to IP.  🙂

What does this mean to you?
