it's coming

[m00p]

The internet will never die.

[sorgen]

What you should be worried about is the loss of net neutrality, not this crap

[captainsamus]

it's coming

No, it isn't. Conspiracy theories ftl.

[Zeleii]

How can the internet be regulated... getting the world itself to massively agree on internet regulation is absurd as it is. One government cannot govern it because it is essentially the same as trying to rule to world.

[fatalvendetta]

Conspiracy theory? Ever heard of Alaska senator Ted Stevens? Net Neutrality and internet regulation are very real issues.

The video is ridiculous polemic. Net neutrality and internet regulation are real issues but they have less to do with politics than economics. It's the bandwidth hogs, the Torrent junkies, that are responsible for people even considering this.

I love the example in the video posted. "Say I'm working on a project with Alex, and I have to send him 20GB of uncompressed video..."

Yeah, DUDE. That's the f**king problem. The internet backbone wasn't made for you to send 20GB worth of data. I can't remember the actual data, but something like 70% of bandwidth is used by less than 5% of internet users. That's a problem.

There are solutions on the horizon. There's a push from multimedia and communications companies to start the push towards making downloadable movies a viable replacement for DVD. The delivery is cheaper and more profitable, but they need more bandwidth than the backbone can currently provide. What has to happen is that analog television stations have to start going away. Each analog station takes up 38mbs. Go ahead and scroll through your non-digital channels and see how much that adds up.

The only reason that analog stations haven't been going away is because those stations want to reach more households. Not everyone has a digital set top box. Next year, that's going to change, and you'll see stations start to drop off the analog tier. When that happens, bandwidth will get freed up, and internet regulation won't be such an issue.

Damn greedy Bush, Cheney, & Friends. How the **** did he win... How? lol. Anyways, this does have a logical point. And some of you might deny it up and down. But it is happening. Just hopefully it does happen they don't cut down on bandwith & GB caps that much.

EDIT: Also I agree with the dude above. Made the point I was trying to make. Just depends on who uses it for whatever their need is

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Interesting stuff.

[jgosh]

hm.

The music in that video is REALLY ****ing annoying. It's like "HEY LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS ISSUE but at the same time try to hear it over this ****ty music."

yeah so is the theory that global warming is because of us (oh, yeah it's all us. mars is having global warming too, yet here on earth it's all our fault) and the Y2K theory..
