Subdeacon Joe Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Um...we pay now. I don't get internet for free, and I don't know anyone who does. What that ruling does is allow those who want, and can afford, to pay a premium for faster service may do so. And that providers are able to charge more for lots of use. In a way we have that now - use too much bandwidth and your service gets slowed down. It takes away the, "Well, since everyone can't afford a muscle car, everyone has to drive a Yugo" rules. http://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/3AF8B4D938CDEEA685257C6000532062/$file/11-1355-1474943.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Absolutely nothing. Unlike the early days there isn't much substance to whats being discussed. We can all go over to the CAS site. Ike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Wow... For once I am actually in agreement with the FCC. And why am I not surprised that it was Verizon pushing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Duncan Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Pay? I pay an annually membership fee and in return I receive the CC and the privilege of shooting a large match or two. And now pay for the honor of posting on a forum about low down blue belly Yankees? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 We all said we'd never pay for TV, too. And I don't. Still get about 50 channels of free broadcast with my 35 year old antenna in the attic. Doesn't make much difference, though. There still isn't anything fit to watch.

Calamity Kris Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 And I don't. Still get about 50 channels of free broadcast with my 35 year old antenna in the attic. Doesn't make much difference, though. There still isn't anything fit to watch. +1. I just purchased our first functional TV in several years. I've had it on for about 2 hours total, just to make sure the antenna set up was working. I watched part of a PBS show on white tail deer the first time and part of a PBS show on the history of aviation after I "fixed" the antenna. That's all. Unless we have some severe weather forecast that I need to pay attention to or something significant in the news, it will probably stay off.

Hoss Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 well, folks, its the good ole free enterprise system at work. WIll be interesting to see how it works its way out. I suspect at some point in time the govmint is going to figure out a way to tax the internet. States are already starting to put sales tax on stuff delivered to their states. I suspect the feds will figure out a way to put a fee or tax or "stamp" on email. just a smidgin at first, say .001/email. then it will be like the US mail, and pretty soon we will be paying .10 each or more.
