Right, so punish Comcast, not WISPs. One jackass breaks the law, so lets punish everyone. Just like public school all over again. Apparently we never outgrow this stupidity.

I know it will make it so we cannot have "fast and slow lanes", but can we block a service completely?

The article I read stated that it will likely pass. If it does, I think something very "extreme" may need to be done. If in protest every ISP in the USA shut down their networks either until the law was repealed or for just a day or two strike I think the government would get the picture, and if they didn't then the millions of people complaining to them about it would certainly help. >> >> I know that is very extreme, but just a thought. Anyone else have any ideas? Perhaps if we just threaten to do so may help? I'm just spitballing here, so please don't think I'm being to crazy. I just want the discussion to begin of what we could really do to stop this. >> >> Thank you, >> Brett A Mansfield > >
