Default Re: Save the 'Net

Just doing my part to make this the slowest moving persistent thread on the entire internets. This is a pretty nice takedown of a lot of the 'waah waah our pipes stop stifling innovation' arguments:

You Don’t Want ISPs to Innovate | Epicenter*| Wired.com

Also re: domain hijacking. Comcast does this with a vengeance. They have an online account management thing that's supposed to be able to turn it off, but periodically, it resets itself and turns it back on, and you can't turn it off again until you call CS and make them do it. No shit.

So yeah, the last thing I want is for the big shits to have yet more room to 'innovate' new ways to fuck me over.
