RE: How Steemit inspired "free internet" can resolve net neutrality @BlockRush
Thanks for the post. Your content is always long and well written - makes me glad I took speed reading courses to be able to get through it in one night. Anyways.
- no one with good intentions is against net neutrality (IMO)
- you know what side I stand on :)
- Not sure about your last question. Steemit is still new and - a lot of people here are just here for a quick buck but they will see how tough it can be to build a strong following. I think the internet could be free but with anything free you pay in other ways (ads, data mining etc). The way the internet is now works fine I think. People create good content and are rewarded in some way for the content - be it the old style of add revenue or the new and improved way of steemit :)
I am not sure what you mean with "no one with good intentions is for net neutrality". In my opinion, no-one against net neutrality has good intentions: they are always big services trying to evolve from major actor to monopolistic supplier
Whoops! you are completely right! I meant against. Edited my post, liked your comment. good catch.
Happy to share this thoughts :)
I also understand people against regulation that says you cannot force a company to provide a service in a way, e.g. if an ISP wants to prioritize its services ¿should it be forced by government not to do it?
The big problem there is that we live in a system dominated by a bunch of actors that can easily get rid of the competition an avoid innovation
The problem is ISP's have a monopoly. In a lot of countries there are only 1-2 options on what you can get. Also a lot of the fibre, cable and telephone lines they put in were payed by government taxes etc so I don't feel bad when the government regulates how the ISPs can charge for their network.
A lot of these companies want to double dip on services like Netflix because they directly compete with their cable offerings. Netflix already pays for their bandwidth just like any other company. If the ISP's want to charge more for data - sure.. go ahead.. but treat everyone the same.
nice review :) You have a new follower by the way :) both of ya! great content.
