FCC Says Wireless Providers Need to Offer 'Open Internet'
Great, but needs clarification.
So its wrong for a person to Pirate music, but the internet providers HAVE to let you do it?
its wrong to have a website that steals credit card/social security numbers but internet providers HAVE to let you go to the site?
These are the kind of loopholes the government is supposed to think about BEFORE creating rules...
Don't get me wrong I really excited about Slingbox on my iPhone but I'm kinda pissed the government wants to put me at risk.

How is the government putting you at risk? Its your job to protect yourself and be smart in your web browsing. Its common sense, which most people fail to use. There are tools out there that are common knowledge that will do a lot to protect you.
I for one think that the government should have no say on what should and shouldn't be blocked. First they start blocking torrent sites then they start blocking sites that they find objectional, like an anti christianity site.

Actually according the Constitution it IS the governments job to protect us...
Really? where does it say that? what article is it in? Is it in one of the amendments?
No the truth is the constitution does not say that. In fact the constitution was written to protect the people from the government. The biggest fear of the founding father is that a government would start making our choices for us.

It sounds like the old "Guns don't kill people. People kill people..." argument to me. Basically, we are not able to deny access to a tool simply because it might be used for illegal purposes because it has purposes which are perfectly legal.

Perhaps you should have thought your comments all the way through, before posting as well.
The providers are trying to force the use of services that can easily be provided by use of the internet, by restricting said use of the internet and connection to it.
Any connection to the internet should nothing more than a dumb pipe.

You are SO WRONG, when AT&T and Verizon pay BILLIONS of dollars for bandwidth why should the FCC be able to tell them how to distribute the internet on the companies spectrum?
Using YOUR train of thought; Shouldn't the government should build the network and then give it to AT&T and Verizon to distribute and handle logistics- giving the government the final say on what happens with the network?
AT&T is stuck providing support for legacy technology like GPRS, EDGE and CDMA in some markets because they HAVE TO- imagine if they were able to flick the switch and have ALL the spectrum dedicated to its 3G service they would have great service and be able to offer faster connections with more leeway with internet usage!
