Cool story, UnC.
It was a common story in the 70's - back when AT&T was the only phone company based on a FCC mandated monopoly. Title II means the FCC decides what they want.
And did the phone company censor the content of your calls?
it's actually the opposite of that.
your op is a very good example of what could happen without net neutrality.
Yes, yes, war is peace, slavery is freedom, changing the internet keeps it the same. We've heard your doublethink newspeak.
well its more like one and direct tv if i want tv, but i really dont need it. only people who really need it are my kids.Bullshit.
You simply don't know what an ISP is,
I have two.
And that is entirely the government's fault you only have two.
And right now the FCC is leaning toward Title II. They claim a stripped down version of title II, but that's always the type of lip service we get from some govt. agency when they plan to butt fuck the life out of something, including consumers. It's also been noted that an additional tax would come into play almost immediately under what Obama is encouraging.
It's like we don't see the forest fro the trees here anymore.
no you're right. i could get a dsl service, at less than 1Mbps. or i suppose there are dial up services available to me - of course then i'd have to get a phone line.

you have a thousand isp's in your area? great. i have one.
Bullshit.
You simply don't know what an ISP is,
That wasn't the FCC, and that was not censorship. That was spying. And what makes you think not having net neutrality will prevent the government from spying on you?
And you'd start shopping for ropes if he supported it.Sometimes I seriously think that if Obama came out against suicide, RWNJs like Eunuch2008 would immediately kill themselves.
You wake up early, you pick up your iPhone and check your VZ-Connect page, you got 7 VZ-Likes on the cat video you posted, you would have gotten more, but an FCC censor found it objectionable and removed it. Not for the first time, you find yourself yearning for the days of Facebook. But after Verizon was named the exclusive backbone carrier by the FCC, weeks after President Obama issued the Executive Order making the internet a Title II utility. Facebook held on for awhile, but the FCC revoked their netcasting license after repeated violations of the net neutrality seditious content rules. Verizon quickly replaced Facebook with VZ-Connect, which was monitored by FCC content custodians.
You need to send Aunt Martha a thank you note for the sweater she sent you for your birthday. So you log on to VZ-Banking to check your balance. Aunt Martha is half a country away and the long distance charges for an email to her will be in the hundreds of dollars. Your balance is low, but you keep the message down to just a few words to keep the costs down.
A pile of mail is in the corner and you dread your Verizon bill. Opening it you see the usual $200 base charge, along with TTY charges, Baseline services taxes to provide internet to families on assistance. The netuse tax has gone up again, now $73.42 for a month. The tax is needed to pay the FCC regulators. But what you really dread are the long distance charges, email in the same zip code is still free, but a per mile charge for email outside of the zip code adds up quickly.
You are tempted to log on to VZ-Chatter and post a complaint, but last time you complained about your Verizon bill you got a stern letter from an FCC guardian advising you that such complaints have no place on the internet.
On the bright side, hand written letters through postal mail have made a resurgence.
Did the FCC censor people's phone calls before 1996?
If Obama or the FCC did anything like in your scenario then it would not be net neutrality. I wouldn't put it past corporate cronies in the FCC to due something bad under the title of "net neutrality" taking advantage of the public's confusion about the subject.You wake up early, you pick up your iPhone and check your VZ-Connect page, you got 7 VZ-Likes on the cat video you posted, you would have gotten more, but an FCC censor found it objectionable and removed it.
