Wait, this one's a *good* law. I was hearing rumors about the FCC pushing the broadband companies into a "pay-per-usage" model like Comcast tested in a few test markets a few years ago, where to have unlimited bandwidth you had to pay like hundreds of dollars a month, and it was a tiered system for bandwidth usage similar to what the 3G providers are stumping for

 

If this is actually the net neutrality guarantees we've been waiting for, that's a good thing. ISP-controlled discrimination for services is the kind of thing we should fight.


Looking at what they actually did is... interesting.

Yeah, I'm not happy they excluded wireless from the more stringent requirements.
