Normally I don't open a message from MDK for fear of witnessing what I
have become accustomed to. It took me a few days to do it, but I did
open this thread. And I have to say I don't mind reading it. I may not
agree with anything or agree with part, but the point is that I don't
mind reading this, whereas I did in the past.
For that effort, I say "well done" Mark. You've found a way to get your
points across without clouding the issue with anti-government opinions.
Now pay the fee & join WISPA and help make change... Those of us who do
would appreciate that (money where the mouth is, that kind of thing).

NN and content regulation is merely some more of the camel through the
door and in the tent with you.
Rate or price controls, coverage requirements, bandwidth
specifications, and so on would be the rest of the camel in the tent.
At that point, you don't control your own network, prices, or
service. You merely manage a utility that's either going to be the
surviving monopoly or go under, as the regulators continue to raise
your costs by demanding more from you, while regulating your revenues.
If you don't think they'll do that, please research "obamacare" where
in a short period of time, insurers are allowed to: Sign people
up. They will not be able to set their own rates, design their own
product, or benefit from efficient operations - as required ratio of
incoming to outgoing dollars is specified.
I'll bet some of you even thought it was a good idea at the time, as
long as it's not YOUR business.

Yes, by the fact that a private person doing business is forced to
report anything to the government is wrong. It breaks the trues spirit
of capitalism & freedom that this country was founded upon. Sorry to
sound extreme but what will they force us to do next?

There is NOTHING broke about 'internet' because it hasn't
been regulated.
Your issue is nothing but a complaint about the results of
what should never
have been done in the first place.
