    Dumb people with smartphones results in lawsuits.

  • How the FCC's repeal of net neutrality could affect Apple

    I, for one, appreciate the balance in this article.  I went from somewhat of a supporter of NN to a pretty staunch opponent.  Contrary to popular belief, NN has nothing to do with ISP competition or likely even prices.  It has to do with data cap waivers as described and faster data for certain high use services like Netflix.  

    It’s also worth noting that NN wasn’t even on the books until 2015.  Everything was fine without it.  One has to wonder why Big Tech and Obama wanted it (the latter tells me it’s bad on its own).  
    Net Neutrality is not just about speeds.  It is also about content:  Your ISP can prevent you from seeing any content that they disagree with.   You could be limited to right wing propaganda sites like FauxNews, Breitbart and InfoWars ... (excuse me while I barf....)

    Those who have wrapped themselves in the cloak of Free Market Ideology claim that free markets would prevent that from happening.  Yet, the fact is: That is nonsense.  There is NOTHING now to prevent that from happening.

    Like our electric grid, airwaves and cables are part of the national infrastructure and no one organization (or group of colluded organizations) should control it.  If you have more faith in Comcast or Verizon than in our democracy to do what is best for the American people, then there is simply no hope for you...

    Just like apple doesn't give anyone a free ride on their app store why should they get a free ride on the ISP's infrastructure. If apple wants to provide top service to it's customers they should pay for it or lay their own pipes. They will be getting a big tax break soon, repatriate the money, lay down infrastructure and generate some jobs here in the US.

    Apple is doomed. What are they going to do now?

  • Why Apple opposes the FCC's repeal of net neutrality

    The free loaders are unhappy now that they have to start paying. Love it.  :D
