Fairness Doctrine or net neutrality? The Fairness Doctrine has been
dead
for quite a while. However, the FCC is now considering rules to
insure
net neutrality.

What is net neutrality? Did you forget that you entered into a contract
with your ISP? If you don't like what one offers you can excercise your
right to choose a different ISP. Or, you can negotiate with your ISP to
provide you with better quality service.



The ISP really isn't the issue. They're a dime a dozen. The issue is the
broadband providers. There are just a few of those. They're mostly
backbones, such as MCI, Spring, UUNET...


MCI no longer exists, see Verizon.

Sprin(g)t no longer exists, see AT&T.

UUNET no longer exists, see Verizon.

Besides UUNet never owned the long lines, the had modems at the POPs.

The misnomer of public and private traffic on the Internet blurs the
fact that it was all privately owned.

Try again.



Whatever... it's still the broadband providers not the ISP. Net neutrality
is about not censoring content. So, what point are you trying to make? The
previous poster seemed to think NN was a bad thing.
