You forget these things, Craig, so how would you know? The courts made it
plain: If you want to mandate neutrality, you cannot do so with Internet
broadband classified as an information service. You missed this then, I pointed
it out to you then, and we're back to square one. Refresh your memory with this
article, from those days:
http://variety.com/2015/biz/news/net-neutrality-fcc-chairman-proposes-to-reclassify-internet-like-a-utility-1201422752/
"In January of last year, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the
FCC's previous set of net neutrality rules, concluding that the agency didn't
have the solid legal footing to impose them. The judges said that the FCC was
attempting to set utility-like regulation for the Internet without actually
classifying broadband as a Title II utility. The FCC currently considers the
Internet an 'information service,' not a Title II 'telecommunications service,'
the classification given to phone companies."
In short, again, it's exactly like I said. As soon as the FCC did the right
thing, the court approved. There was no lag time to speak of, no protracted
arguments, nothing. It sailed through.
Nobody is talking about Zero Rating on fixed broadband services Bert.
On wireless, where there is some reasonable competition, it's not such a big
deal. But if the fixed broadband services impose data caps, as some are already
doing, it could easily become an issue. All depends on how draconian the caps
are. Assume 4K video requires an average of 12 Mb/s, with an advanced codec. If
you watch 4 hours per day, that would be just about 670 GB per month. So, 200
GB/mo doesn't come close. It could become an issue. If it does, for wired
broadband (or also fixed 5G service, most likely), abolishing zero rating may
be the only viable option.
Let's see. Go against local caps and national caps for TV stations,
retain the UHF discount, go against rural broadband pricing guidance
for Internet service, against ISP neutrality mandates, ... . What
exactly do you not get, Craig? Do you need an ocean of words to
explain this too?
No. There is no ocean large enough to educate you, as you are
unwilling to learn. Like your complete misunderstanding about 5G in
the 600 MHz spectrum.
Sorry, Craig, but I have proof for what I tell you, whereas all you can do is
wax verbose, using only whatever copious number of words you can dream up in
the moment. Back up your imagined proclamations, Craig. You're flat wrong on
600 MHz as a 5G service, even as backhaul, you seem befuddled by who the
"special interests" might be, and you're flat wrong on what the DC court told
the FCC to do. (Btw, the graphic I posted today on net neutrality seems to
understand who these special interests are, Craig. I'd say, it's common
knowledge. Should not need not be belabored.)
