Comment Re:Getting around the court decision (Score 1) 182

You are an idiot that does not understand why Ma Bell was not innovative or what the court actually told the FCC when it over-turned the rules...you certainly do not understand the crap political game the ISPs have been playing with the FCC regarding when they do and do not want to be considered a common carrier.

The fact that consumer ISPs are access providers means they will never meet the definition for free peering agreements. They are all consumption services. Asshats can't seem to get it that these companies are just trying to set up a two-sided market and that is the only reason any of this is an issue.

Comcast has their cable monopoly that allows them to use the poles as part of the contact with the cities they are in. They use this as a means to prevent competition through graft and exclusive contracts...Title II would prevent cities from blocking right of way access to competition like Google.

umm... No they aren't. Comcast and Verizon sent all the Netflix traffic through a single switch to their networks and held Netflix hostage for the deal that Verizon and Comcast wanted to make rather than allowing Netflix to just buy the equipment and pay for maintenance....Level 3 has had the same problems with Verizon and Comcast.
