Explosive expansion of free grassroot wireless networks in 3, 2, 1...
This is bad. So far it is mainly bad because Comcast doesn't like torrents, but it could become bad for other reasons as well. :(

This.
Gentlemen, start yuor cantennas.
Well, practically speaking, I don't think we're quite there yet. The FCC and congress can get this fixed and this particular case can still be appealed by the FCC.
...but, the end-game is that Comcast will ultimately lose no matter what happens.
is there someplace with a convenient chart of list that says what the various ISP's stance is on net neutrality for those of us that haven't really been following the whole thing?
i've got comcast, and am dissatisfied, and i'd rather turn to someone with a good policy if it's available...
possibly on eff.org? I haven't checked, but they also have a list of which colour printers print nearly invisible yellow watermarks with the time/date and serial number on every page (nearly all popular consumer models)
Fuck, does this mean mean I have to go back to listening to people whine about needing laws to stop Bad Things that don't actually exist?

Are you saying that net neutrality isn't an issue?

You seem to have answered yourself, there.

I was asking what he was saying and even if I wasn't, the idea that Comcast will ultimately lose doesn't make Net Neutrality a non-issue.
