So, let me get this straight. NetFlix wanted to make more money, but when they raised their rates... subscribers left. So, they lower the price back to what it was and then convince the FCC to force service providers to lower their prices so NetFlix can make more profit... and the rest of the US is supposed to be okay with the new burdensome restricts and our prices going up, even if we don't use Netflix?

Great. :thumbsdown:

Doesn't everyone want their cutting-edge technology lumped in with the same regulations as an electric company?

No it isn't. This is just the opening gambit to a huge litigation orgy.

Keep in mind this will be controlled by the same FCC that censors TV and Radio. What could go wrong?

Nothing good can possibly come from this. Can't wait to see how much my ISP raises rates now.

When they figure out how to tax it...that's the ultimate endgame. More of your money to spend...

It usually opens a long conversation...

We are top notch when it comes to the technical side. On the Customer Service side... not so much.

The company is the paragon of the "do not ascribe to malfeasance what can be attributed to incompetence."
