My newest Canadian Dimension piece, where I argue that the debates around Net Neutrality are a big opportunity for the left to challenge capitalist assumptions about freedom and democracy #cdnpoli #NetNeutrality

"Net neutrality allowed me to invent the web without having to ask for permission. In a matter of days, the FCC could vote to reverse #NetNeutrality protections. Call your representatives. Tell them to keep the internet open!"

@Xil According to Molyneaux, this is what Comcast, Verizon, and Netflix were up to just before Obama rolled out #NetNeutrality. Netflix utilization was working Comcast's network hard enough they felt the need to respond with throttling, unless Netflix would subsidize their network costs. Netflix agreed. Then Verizon wanted a piece and Netflix caved for them, too.

The whole concept of #NetNeutrality is a choice that Internet users never had was suddenly placed in their lap. What else are they going to do but regulate in their own best interest? Isn't that what any crooked politician would do with newfound powers?

Do #NetNeutrality supporters actually believe ISPs will roll out tiered speed plans to different sites? Isn't it much more likely they'll charge content providers (like Netflix, Hulu, etc.) to make up for the transmission costs.

If we have net neutrality, it's more likely your ISP bill will go up a bunch. Otherwise, it's likely your Netflix bill will be impacted, but not by as much.
