          Are these crowds willing to cancel their Internet to further support the net neutrality protest?

            That's like asking if the people of Flint will be willing to go thirsty rather than drink tainted water.

              How could they? The internet is an essential service it would be incredibly difficult living, working, and surviving in modern society without access to the internet.

                I get that but how exactly is standing in front of the stores like Verizon is going to make any difference? Hell anybody can just stand outside and start shouting with signs.

                    Picketing is never actually for the group doing the picketing it's more to inform the general public of those issues that concern the group doing the protesting...

                          There are times where the evidence is just so obvious, yet the cops still can't figure out who the murderer or victim is..

                            The last few lines of this article sum up what is going to happen perfectly.

                              Which is "Public Knowledge VP Chris Lewis said. “This gives free rein to broadband providers to block or throttle your broadband service as long as they inform you of it.”"

                                The FCC still doesn't know what the internet is, and fundamentally has no hope of understanding it before Thursday's vote.

                                    What? Blanket statement of "facts" without sources is completely normal, right. You don't need to see the sources of this information, right

                                      So, does Pai think Net Neutrality is something that it isn't? Other then corruption that's the only thing I can think of... no one can be this malevolent on purpose.

                                        yeah - heard about small ISP's whining (there was one on Security Now a few years ago) about how net neutrality was hurting him. /sigh. He was over subscribed for what he was selling. It's not 1998 anymore, people want to use the bandwidth they buy.

                                          @coliver it's pretty easy to act malevolently when you are offered what you desperately want.

                                          Be it a ton of money, a non-government job or whatever else.

                                            Of course, why would you need facts and references? It's not like half of what I write ends up being references: https://www.travisdh1.net/lenovo
