You do not need 25 Mbps broadband for online courseware.
I never said 25 Mb/s, but certainly you need more than 1 Mb/s, and certainly
dialup won't do. As of today, 4 or 5 Mb/s is probably good enough as a minimum,
but soon it won't be. People need that home fixed broadband service. Just as
the commissioner said. And even the Chairman knows that many do not have
access, either for geographic or for financial reasons. No matter how you slice
it, people need fixed broadband, and competition among providers of fixed
broadband is seriously lacking.
The Internet is not going to educate someone who is not interested
in learning;
As Craig wanders off on tangents, as always. Random nonsense, Craig?
The Internet is NOT a telecom service Bert. It may use telecommunications
for access,
Unfortunately, this only shows your level of technical ignorance on these
matters. And your insistence, over the years, only makes it more obvious. Go
ahead and read any of the RFCs, and show me where the Internet is anything BUT
a telecom service, a common carrier. Show me where the RFCs describe specific
web sites, or specific business models, and most importantly, show me where the
RFCs explain these specific sites or business models being an integral
component of the Internet itself. They never do, Craig. They describe the
transport, the different options that may be used to access what is on the
other end. What is on the other end is not "the Internet." The Internet ties
the various end sites together. It does not constitute those sites.
After you've done some quality reading, then do explain, in all the detail you
can muster, how the Internet providing access to your bank, is anything
different from your telephone company providing access to your bank. Other than
the obvious extra capabilities you have with Internet access. Explain the train
of thought that leads you to believe that you bank is part of the Internet, but
doing bank business by telephone is not.
You have no credibility, Craig, when you make your inane proclamations. Like
you just did.
I think you are wrong about what Chairman Pai thinks or understands.
He is trying to dismantle the regulatory regimes
... in a way that advantages only the special interests. Already been there.
Allow non-neutral Internet service, just so the Internet can become polluted
with the sorts of practices Monty's article, posted today, described.
