FCC Wants Power. Denied! The FCC is in my opinion A Waste of time! I'm a proud Comcast user and now even prouder. As they liked the ruling as do I. I'm glad it was thrown out it should have been. Why is this Administration is trying to control everything? It's making voters angry. If I want to talk about the news, etc I should be able to. I am a American and I enjoy my freedom and my internet freedom.

Philosophically I agree that Comcast or any company should be able to run its business without government micromanagement. Unfortunately there are barriers to competition that inhibit the free market vis-a-vis ISPs, and consumers are often left twisting in the wind by predatory providers. Net neutrality is a complex issue, but in the end, if a company is allowed to screw around with my internet access and I don't have a choice of going to another provider? That's wrong. I believe government has the right to regulate businesses to prevent the abuse of consumers, so I'm not sure if I agree with the FCC ruling at this point.

'They need to better define what net neutrality is/should be...'

And that's the issue.

It seems almost no two people define it the same way. Some people define it in such a way as to include as a violation what would be considered good network practices.
