Al Franken struggles to explain net neutrality to Ted Cruz: You are ‘completely wrong’
Explaining a moderately complicated policy to an extremist... a struggle.
But Franken told CNN’s Candy Crowley that Cruz had the concept of net neutrality “completely wrong.”
“CNN’s website, [and] a blogger in Duluth, Minnesota travels at the same speed… The New York Times, their website travels the same speed,” Franken pointed out. “That’s the way that it’s been from the beginning. And we want to keep it that way.”
“He has it completely wrong, he just doesn’t understand what this issue is,” the Minnesota Democrat said of Cruz. “We’ve had net neutrality the entire history of the Internet.”
Franken observed that “Obamacare was government program that fixed something, that changed things. This is about reclassifying something so it stays the same. This would keep things exactly the same as they’ve been.”

you really don't see how stupid your posts that obama is in control of is at fault for everything? they've had our phone info and much more for decades silly rabbit. grow up and wise up.So basically, Obama wants our phone records, he threatens providers with regulatory blackmail. He then obtains our phone records without a warrant.
How could any thinking consumer possibly be against Net Neutrality?
Jeez...talk about voting against your own interests!!!
Who knew NeoClowns would be against open and free internet?
That's classic, we want government to stay out of it, you want government to control it. Which is us being against an open and free internet, that we don't want government to control it. I hope you're hot, the only way you're making a living is on your back. Or with your hat out. Ahhh......
I don't want it changed to a 2 tiered system, you big dummy.
The point is that NOBODY is taking itThe Internet is not for sale
True, government is not paying for it, they are simply taking it because they can.
As it should be
Comcast and Time Warner need people signed up for their service and if blocking certain sites will reduce their income then they won't do that.

You have first amendment rights because the government guarantees that right. Get it?
My God...it's like you know me![/quote]That's because you're a Marxist.
In your world you have to trust the government to take care of you. In my world, I have to trust me to take care of myself. The contrived choices you present are fundamentally different. I don't have to trust anyone to take care of me. You are entirely dependent on it.
Your world must be so easy to understand seeing as how it only comes in two shades.
Comcast and Time Warner need people signed up for their service and if blocking certain sites will reduce their income then they won't do that.
They have a fucking Monopoly dude. There is no competition and that means you can go fuck yourself or play by their rules.
Not really a choice at all.
And you actually believe the government is going to solve this problem. You know who can solve this problem? You.Net neutrality is nothing more than a ploy for government regulating what you can see based on their perception of what you need.
Net neutrality is a foot in the door to net taxes, net regulations and much like healthcare ended up making one group pay for another group to get it free.
All of this bullshit about wanting to keep it like it is fear mongering. It is like it is because it's not regulated by the fucking government. That's what makes it work so well. So how do you fuck that up? You tell people it's going to change if the government doesn't get involved and then the government promptly makes the net exactly as bad as they said it would be without them. Only this time they need revenue to fix what they fucked up and of course that means taxes.
We have a perfect system without the government, why would anyone want to fuck that up?
Thats the question and the Telecoms want to change it to a corporate playground where companies can pay for faster internet. The internet is fast already.
Make no mistake VERIZON SUED THE GOVT on this issue. They didnt sue because the govt wanted to DO SOMETHING. They sued because the govt WOULDNT ALLOW THE TELECOMS to change the internet.
“Verizon vs. FCC presents a very significant historical moment,” says Susan Crawford, a tech policy expert and professor at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law who served as Special Assistant to President Obama for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy. “The question presented by the case is: Does the U.S. government have any role in ensuring ubiquitous, open, world-class, interconnected, reasonably priced Internet access?”Landmark Verizon 8216 Net Neutrality 8217 Case Tests Open Internet Rules TIME.com
The principle of net neutrality was enshrined in the FCC’s 2010 Open Internet order, which aims to prevent Internet service providers (ISPs) like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T from interfering with Internet traffic or favoring their own services in order to disadvantage rivals. The main thrust of the order boils down to three rules. First, the order requires ISPs to be transparent about how they handle network congestion; second, the ISPs are prohibited from blocking traffic such as Skype or Netflix on wired networks; third, the order outlaws “unreasonable” discrimination, meaning the ISPs can’t put such services into an Internet “slow lane” in order to benefit their own competing services.
Now I dont know about you but it would suck if I couldnt get onto google because Comcast forced me to Bing. Or Ebay over Deals.com. Or I couldnt buy a book from a local shop because I cant get onto the site but Amazon is running smooth.
Do you think this is good for the Consumer?
Our internet is slower and more expensive than other nations.
Do you think that is something that will change once they get to put their product infront of others?
Will you at least read up on it before being against it outright? Yes the govt wants to treat it like a utility and that can change but the alternative is letting them put what they want in front and making other areas of the internet virtually inaccessible. Sure you can wait wait for a site while it buffers you to death too. Thats always an option
Why would comcast make you go to bing when you can choose your own search engine?
If they don't allow that maybe you should change providers. And as a side note why would they ever force you to use a search engine you don't like?
The only way they could possibly make you use bing, or google or any other search engine with no choice of your own is government regulation.
The same regulation you fear that comes with lobbying our law makers for net neutrality. Which may as well be named "net we keep shit the same and don't let anyone else out do us because it's the law".
Net neutrality means the net will get more expensive, less options and less user friendly. Kind of like obiecare and your SS retirement.
Comcast and Time Warner need people signed up for their service and if blocking certain sites will reduce their income then they won't do that.
They have a fucking Monopoly dude. There is no competition and that means you can go fuck yourself or play by their rules.
Not really a choice at all.
You really know nothing about technology. There's nothing wrong with that in itself, but it's curious why you want to demonstrate it so thoroughly.

How about you doing some bitching on the leftwing commie president and his comrades in arms, LYING to us and sticking us with a new fascist government ENTITLEMENT we the people have to pay for?
I don't know any but I'm sure you'll be able to provide some links.
The internet is open now because of net neutrality.
The providers want to end it. Only a complete fucking fool would support that.

You two must be getting your info from Fox News pundits. Not that I think Obama is a golden boy but entitlements are down.
