I mean we see  torrents of comments about product releases and what not, but when a piece discusses something that potentiall affects ALL of us, this place is a virtual graveyard.

The motivation behind this is all well and good, but the Internet didn't get where it is today by government intervention. I have to say I'm quite disturbed by this bill. And no, I don't work for AOL or whatever, just a regular guy.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[eliot1785]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2006 9:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Judiciary Committee approves net neutrality]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/judiciary-committee-approves-net-neutrality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/judiciary-committee-approves-net-neutrality/</guid><description><![CDATA[Elliot1785:<br>I don't disagree with you on the scariness of regulation, but at this point it's a double edged sword, as this bill only came about after the lobbyists pushed for the bill that directly apposes it under the guise of streamlining the Internet and handling increased bandwidth costs and demands.  So it's either counter-regulate or stand by idling and get steamrollered.  Just an opinion.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[base2wave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 25th 2006 10:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Judiciary Committee approves net neutrality]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/judiciary-committee-approves-net-neutrality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/judiciary-committee-approves-net-neutrality/</guid><description><![CDATA[firstly:<br>www.savetheinternet.com<br>^<br>go there. too lazy to hyperlink it. <br><br>secondly, im damned glad the Net Neutrality Bill has gone through this far. This is something which will probably affect each and every one of us bloggers, email users, work-from-home-er's (ok not a word, however I think you get the point). If the big corporations (AOL, Verizon, AT&T, etc.) gain control of the internet's flow, the internet as we know it is royally screwed. no more free google, or email, or anything for that matter, because every site will have to pay a toll if they want to get in the "fast lane". and if they have to pay, they have to have a way to replenish that money, meaning you'll have to pay. <br><br>I hope for once, the government makes the right choice. Its very surprising there aren't more comments on this- you'd think everyone who's ever used the internet would be on here in some way shape or form. hopefully this clears things. <br><br>cheers.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[V]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2006 2:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Judiciary Committee approves net neutrality]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/judiciary-committee-approves-net-neutrality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/judiciary-committee-approves-net-neutrality/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm pretty sure there was an aggreement they signed about net neutrality a while back.

Taking a back seat to such important issues is wrong, however.  <br><br>#11.  I disagree.  If a startup is providing us with any kind of internet access it still hits the backbone.

Under the current way of looking at our telecom infrastructure - yes, it will be an issue.  But consider this: within a few years (or maybe a decade or two), telcos will no longer have their "power play" of Landline/Cellular/DSL/Cable.  It will be high-speed internet and super-ultra-high-speed-internet.  The high-speed will handle all our voice (and cellular, as WiFi networks replace cell towers), and the super-ulta will handles all our HDTV needs.  So Telco's will charge consumers out the ass for the super-ultra, leaving companies alone.  Which is really the way it should be.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Venscoso]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 26th 2006 12:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Judiciary Committee approves net neutrality]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/judiciary-committee-approves-net-neutrality/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/25/judiciary-committee-approves-net-neutrality/</guid><description><![CDATA["Allowing broadband carriers to control what people see and do online would fundamentally undermine the principles that have made the Internet such a success."
