It's hard to tell with all the general cross subsidization with television service and retention discounts, but then, ISPs have only been regulated under Title II for around two years. Have you seen an actual bill recently that included cable television and Internet service at a decent speed for under $100 per month?

There are only three options here if an ISP wants to remain in business when more and more people are signing up for streaming video services: charge the streaming service for the performance it demands from their network beyond that which was reasonably foreseen, charge the customer directly for the burst traffic like electricity, or charge EVERYONE regardless of whether they use the streaming service or not. Under Net Neutrality, only the third option is actually available; the first now being illegal, and the second one being unacceptable in the marketplace.

This is a good thing. It means that Reed Hastings and Jeff Bezos can't shift their costs onto consumers who don't use video services like Netflix. Looks like they'll have to build their own networks, or at least share the cost of provisioning connections capable of delivering uninterrupted streams of multi-megabit-per-second data.

Now, if you want to attack the root cause of the problem with last-mile and monopoly right-of-way access, discriminatory conduct and prohibitions on municipal broadband, be my guest. We already have laws for that.

Imagine what our world would be like without public education!

Wealthier and more educated than if we didn't throw somewhere around one trillion dollars annually down the black hole of the left-wing indoctrination-industrial complex? And that's just K12 in the United States.

As for letting crazy people buy guns, Trump signed that Republican-back law not too long ago. Amazing, but there you go. It's nuts, and yes, Trump will be impeached.

So you want to deny due process to Social Security recipients, and grant it to foreign terrorists and illegal immigrants?

You need to be lynched.
