Lol NN also never stopped the throttling. It’s never stopped. Only specific legislation can stop it.
It only didn't stop it because the FCC was so easily bought off.
Pure speculation. There’s no specific langauage to stop to. Title ii is old telecom law.
If anything NN makes corruption more likely.
How?

I also always thought NN was bullshit, based on speculation and phantom issues that did not exist. More specific legislation could have addressed issued like throttling, one of the guises the NN supporters used to bring this into effect. It just wasnt a well crafted law, and was widely open to the kind of abuse that would reduce competition.
There is no system for competition today. They could have retained NN and fixed these things. Removing NN is the issue, failing to fix the other things is an issue, using repealing NN under the excuse of the other things is an issue.
Consider the way TMobile could have been limited by NN with their unlimited streaming offering that Pai supporter and gave the green light on in Feb.
How would NN have affected TMobile? I honestly don't know how it would apply?
They wanted to offer free video streaming services to any video provider who would use the codec conversion to their wireless subscribers. Competitors cried foul play and used NN, Pai overruled then. That’s one of many reasons NN is gone. It’s not over through, just the beginning.
How does offering that violate NN?
They charged for HBO and Youtube data usage and didn’t charge for the video services that signed up. It’s “uneven access” like Scott said. But you see how it screws the customer and reduces competition?
They charge for HBO and Youtube because those two refuesed to use the codex... you said anyone who uses the codex gets a free ride - soo wake up HBO, install the damned codex for TMo and move on.. problem solved.
Exactly and why didn’t they want to use the codec???
Not "exactly", this is pure evil. TMobile should NEVER get to dictate how something like that is done, never. This is AWFUL.
They’re just saying “hey, we found a way to make steaming unlimited which users want, anyone can get on board”
And Verizon said “oh shit, that’s a big money maker, good thing NN can stop it”
Absolutely not competitive.

TMobile, sadly, took advantage of government corruption for their own goals. It's sad that TMobile did this, but they are a foreign company after all and their focus isn't the freedom of Americans.

can you provide examples of what TMo took advantage of? what they did that was against NN - please provide specifics.

Um... do you want NN or not? So you think that ISPs SHOULD be able to tell providers what to do and decide, using decisions like codec choices, who can see what and how fast?
There was NO speed change here - at least not that I'm aware of. What you did have affected by CHOOSing to use the codex is that use of codex would NOT count against your data pool, nothing more.
-
I want open, equal access to the Internet. If TMobile is dictating what gets to me and what doesn't that's evil and what I want stopped. I'm not paying for someone else to choose which things are fast and which are slow, or which I get and which I don't.

So, here is what I hear in how you are responding... TMobile should be able to dictate anything they want. And if people don't comply... whether it is a technology they can't get, or they can't afford, or it isn't how their system works, or they just don't want to, that TMobile should be allowed to throttle it?
What I'm hearing is that you don't like the idea of NN, but like your ISP to have arbitrary right to pick and choose what they want and what they don't, to get ot you.

Yes they could have, but then Verizon would loose millions/billions overage data fees.

no one ever said priority changes... only if it counted against your data allotment or not.

Forcing companies to use a specific codec is way bigger of a problem than it sounds like. This is just an arbitrary control measure. Maybe this ONE is minor, but it's just the beginning. It's a fundamental problem. Today it is "pay the toll for this codec patent", tomorrow it is "only say positive things about the president"... the result is the same... a private company gets to choose what factors determine what data you get, and which data you don't.

I see this as a billing advantage in my favor... instead of somethign against me.
I always have the choice to use my alloted bandwidth for the codex I want to use.. but then I might run out and have to pay more..

That's the illusion. You pay and they decide which things get priority and which don't. It's never in your favour. Remember the discussion with Mike... in the end, the customer pays. TMobile decides which things you get faster or more of, and which you get less of. You never actually pay less, they just are saying that to make it sound okay.

But this is only ever on the 'free' portion of their service.. your paid portion you can still do anything you want.
Though I do see the line you're talking about.. and if they make the paid portion more and more expensive to the point where you can only really afford to use the free side.. (not really free, but 'included" in yoru base bill)..
yeah, problems, just like what's trying to be solved today by NN -

Rather you got things free instead of being charged for them, due to an innovating codec. Forcing the codec would be wrong, so they gave the option to the video provider.
