FCC Passes New Net Neutrality Regulations - Will it Affect the IOPList?

[Popster]

So, is my understanding of the current bill correct Popster?
Thanks

Yes, I think you do have the general idea Raven.
So does barq and Mapurv.

This site won't be affected and most small users will not be affected financially...except by paying more for sports and entertainment accessed via the Internet.

Just think of countries like China, or Iran, or Russia or North Korea that try to control what can and cannot be seen by their citizens.

Companies like Netflix are going to get hit hard and customers will be paying more for video/media services.
There is the threat of monopoly.

It remains to be seen, but I believe a kind of censorship (via bandwidth allocation) may very well be a result....and that is our biggest threat.
With neutrality gone, there will be more gov't involvement...i.e. regulations.

It's all conjecture at this point...but it is also clearly about money and power.
