not content. The question was the FCC rethinking the Bush era designation of the Internet as an information provider rather than as a network on which the information passes.
The fact is that the bit torrent problem could be handled under either designation. There is no reason that under regulation the only fee has to be unlimited service.

There's tons and tons of bandwidth available, don't know why streaming is an issue |

That bandwidth is "available" because all customers are required to pay upwards of $60/month |

Strongly in favor. This "net neutrality" is closer to Obama's triangulated "HCR"--mandated private |
