Also, I'm for net nuetrality laws.

I am however AGAINST regulation of the internet as if it were TV or Radio.  For one unlike Radio, there isn't a limited set of stations.


TV shouldn't really be regulated either.


Considering the whole "We want power to blacklist websitese" stuff Obama has been talking about and recent attempts at taking down wikileaks, even net nuetrality laws seem like it might be too much though I must admit.

Well, what you have here is people who don't like laws insuring net neutrality, spinning that the laws actually HINDER freedom on the Internet.  One can argue that the market can insure net neutrality, but the spin as we see here, is going out of the lines.

I also find it interesting that, for some reason, my cable company ISP won't allow me to get ESPN 3, so I can watch games over XBox Live.  Maybe ESPN is requiring payment from ISPs to stream over Cablevision, or Cablevision is the one wanting to charge extra fees. 

ESPN does charge a fee for ESPN3 some ISPs can watch it, some can't.

I can't say i have a problem with it honestly.  Though why it's not just an option like ESPNinsider i don't know.
