I was going to respond earlier, but my internet connection died.
My cable company sucks…..
Too late anyway, I have a hit the sack, since I have a long commute. I would work from home, but I have no assurance my service will perform adequately.
Maybe I need to order a T1 line for myself. I wish all the other drivers would order a T1 line as well. If I get stuck in traffic I’ll send a twitter follow-up….

How many people tried a Vonage box when it was new and was disappointed with the results? Raise your hands now. Now go read today’s article over at Cringely.com

Over at WSJ comments on this same story contain whines and moans about lack of choice of ISPs in the Valley. Only problem with this is that vendor lock-in in the valley is the RESULT of government issued monopoly status and has nothing to do with Net Neutrality, quite the opposite.

Net Neutrality has become like magic beans and anyone who has second thoughts (particularly those evil Republicans) is like Jack’s mom calling him home for dinner.

Would things be better if the Feds owned and ran all the TV and radio stations, was back in the phone business, and was the only way you could get on the Internet at all? If you have doubts about that, you need to think again about going down this road.

I want MORE choices, not less. Give us choices, and the rest will take care of itself.

Why wouldn’t AT&T be unhappy with Chairman Genchoski’s proposal? It threatens to wipe out their multi billion dollar investment and destroy their revenue stream. If the rules are adopted I see thousands more telecom employees out on street.

I am deeply disappointed with Chairman Genchowski’s proposal today regarding the so called Open Internet. What he has done is condemned the Internet to the same issues that are present with today’s freeways. The Beltway around Washington DC at rush hour is what the Internet will be like as more and more high bandwidth traffic is loaded onto the Internet.

Without the ability to manage the traffic, telecom providers will not be able to insure that high priority/high value traffic like video will be delivered with quality.

What he has done is to dictate the equivilant of operating vehicles on our streets without the benefit of stop lights to manage the flow.

Even our streets occasionally restrict heavy traffic like trucks from certain areas.

I am hoping the FCC will reconsider this proposal.
