Maybe they mean low latency internet connections. This might need some better hardware installations on the side of the provider. This is probably not about net neutrality.
Read the article before commenting, Nimrod.
Exactly why net neutrality was important
RIP net neutrality, it was nice knowing you.
Obligatory fuck ajit pai
Has Biden made this a priority?
He couldn’t until there was a Democrat majority in the FCC.
Now it’s a priority.
Well he’s got a few months to make something happen then.
Until then its just talk.
They’re holding a vote on it in October.
“Why should we upgrade our tech when we can just artificially reduce capacity and charge more for priority access?”
enshittification.
my theory is that they are pushing for more expensive upgrades like fiber.
Charter has/had a dark fiber ring ready for use back in 2005. I assume most other cable providers have similar, because they had to build it out after the first FCC spending bill after 99
Fuck these pricks.
The network can handle everyone currently on it yet they cry like it’s causing them issues.
Fucking liars.
They might not be able to easily, but that’s 100% on them for spending their obscene profits on yet another nesting yacht rather than upgrading their infrastructure to actually keep pace with demand
It’s yachts, all the way down
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Some net neutrality proponents are worried that soon-to-be-approved Federal Communications Commission rules will allow harmful fast lanes because the plan doesn’t explicitly ban “positive” discrimination.
FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel’s proposed rules for Internet service providers would prohibit blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization.
Stanford Law Professor Barbara van Schewick, who has consistently argued for stricter net neutrality rules, wrote in a blog post on Thursday that “harmful 5G fast lanes are coming.”
In a different filing last month, several advocacy groups similarly argued that the “no-throttling rule needs to ban selective speeding up, in addition to slowing down.”
That filing was submitted by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Open Technology Institute at New America, Public Knowledge, Fight for the Future, and United Church of Christ Media Justice Ministry.
The draft order argues that the FCC’s definition of “throttling” is expansive enough that an explicit ban on what the agency called positive discrimination isn’t needed:

I hope the EU handles that. I’m happy that I’m not in the US.
