Net Neutrality

Net neutrality, good idea or bad.  Not going to say my idea right now just going to point out thoughts on both sides.  Well first it should ensure that I get the same speed for my stuff that others get.  Hopefully I will not get buffering on Netflix.  I will say that since Netflix worked out a deal with Comcast that I havn't had any buffering anyways.  I wasn't to thrilled with the pass it before you read it thing.  We have had a lot of conflict from that being done before.  I wonder if the Internet really is like the phone company.
      I see the logic when it comes to cable lines because it seems like you only have one cable company in an area but not so with cell towers so there is competition there.  That certainly separates it from being a normal utility.  Is it even a utility?  I struggle to think of how I would do things without my Internet connection but I did it before.  Do I have a right to internet or to tell a provider who is offering a service how to do it.  That is what we did with tv and phone service along with other services, but again they often have monopolies in the areas they serve.  Those monopolies are hard not to have due to the nature of the lines they have to run for them, but again cell towers are not like that.
       I know the idea of the government getting involved does make me doubt it won't be taxed before long.  I also heard Mark Cuban mention something about TV could end of being buffered as it is all digital now and basically like Internet data on the cable lines.  I also know when the government got involved with phones we saw a stagnation in development of phone technology.  How many years did people have the rotary phone and how fast have most other things advanced? 

     Well at least for now it is through and we will have to live with whatever it does good or bad.  What do you think?
