U.S. Appeals Court Strikes Down FCC's Net Neutrality Push
Ugh.
The Court system has failed us again. Cheers to paying for "faster" data access and getting throttled. I am a heavy data user and I pay for unlimited data. I can already notice how Tmobile slows down my internet connection when I have reached my 5GB of data on my phone. I can only imagine how much worse it will get. sigh.

agreed. I think the court screwed this one up. If the FCC is not able to control this then some government run board should be. But with all the money issues. Why not give the FCC power to do this. Props to the FCC for trying anyways...

That's right. Who is going to look out for the consumers and smaller companies? Now Verizon has the green light to split the Internet. There could be a faster more expensive internet with some companies on it, and a slower less expensive internet with other companies on it. If you want to get to the premium internet, have to pay Verizon a fee. This is wrong, the courts are wrong, and it seems the new FCC chairperson is weaker than the old.

The "courts" don't screw anything up. Lawyers do. The "courts" just endlessly get backed into the corner by their constant equivocation on every subject. Their motive? Money from their clients. Their clients? Heavily networked corporate entities. Constant legal process to strip consumer protection and maximize corporate profits. No other result can be expected of this legal system's structure.

The court's job is not to make things "fair". Their job is to interpret the law and make decisions based on it. This is a situation that should be handled by Congress and the President, which is how our Constitution says such things should be handled.
It's amazing how people are willing to give up so much legislative and punitive authority to non-elected bureaucrats.

It is sad indeed. Their interpretation of the "law" is not in the consumers benefit. I mean I can bring up a number of cases in regards to how our "justice" system interprets the law... My issue here is that with no regulation on that, internet service providers are free to charge you premium data cost for what ever they see "fit". We are back peddling here, the purpose of that regulation was to allow us to progress and innovate our outdated networks and it worked but now we are back to square one.
I do agree with you, Obama's board of representatives interfered for Apples ban... They should do something about this.
