| Phrases like "Lil' Justine" and "Obongo" make you sound smart and help to convince people your arguments are correct. Well done. |

$1: hijacked by a mentality that views data mining as equivalent to being deported to Auschwitz
How would you view the government data mining all of your communications? I'm seriously interested in hearing how it is a good thing. |

| Then maybe I should correct it and say "convincing customers and Canada Post they should pay the same price for delivering a letter or a refridgerator"? NetFlix built its service on the backs of someone else's delivery system and its so popular they've overwhelmed it. The fiber running in... |

| The point I was trying to make is that the infrastructure isn't up to par everywhere. Neutrality is hard to deliver with some of the bandwidth available. The whole Netflix argument, from the point of an ISP, is like you opening an online store and then convincing customers and lobbying gov't that P... |

| Now you tell me that's not what reclassification is and really it's just a big, fat nothing. I mean after all "Tom Wheeler himself" said nothing to see here, right? You seem to put a lot of weight to what main stream publications are saying on this issue, I think that is a mistake. Would ... |

| Read the government's own words and tell me how this administration's plans to regulate bias in online journalism are not something to be concerned about? That is a FTC document, the Federal Trade Commission. Title II is being implemented by the FCC, this isn't "the administration's" plan... |

| There is a difference between the internet and internet providers . Title II regulates internet providers because they have a monopoly on the "last mile" of the internet, the connection going into your house. These regulations stop the ISP's from being able to decide what you can and canno... |

| The UN take over of the internet is referring to the US relinquishing control of ICANN. ICANN is the (private) organization that handles top level domains and IP addresses. Here is a link to an article that goes into the issue in depth; http://www.newrepublic.com/article/117093/us-withdraws-icann-wh... |

| Reclassification by the FCC to Title II is a totally separate issue, they've got nothing to do with each other. At all. Title II simply classifies ISP's as "common carriers". That means that ISP's must carry traffic in a reasonable and nondiscriminatory way. So each packet travelling over ... |
