        So does this mean that Comcast and the rest can no longer restrict the throughput on bittorrent?

          Correct, at least for the moment.

            When the ruling goes into effect. Which may be anywhere from 3 weeks to 90 days (or more). It seems that the commission has a set period of time where they can add additional comments to the ruling.

              From what I've read it'll take a year or two before they get all the lawsuits sorted out

                But it will be up to judges sooner than that if the law is held or allowed to be applied while the lawsuits flow.

                  This seems to be what most I see most. The ruling will be applied despite ongoing lawsuits, when/if lawsuits succeed then the ruling will be amended/removed.

                    This is the part of things that is wrong and why I really do not like them applying Title II.
                    Yes we need something here, but Title II itself is old and outdated.

                    Of course with the do nothing political mindset that we have running the U.S. maybe this is the only thing that could get put in place.

                    In another expansion of its authority, the agency claimed power to judge whether Internet service providers offer fair terms for accepting Web traffic from the likes of video streamer Netflix and data shippers such as Cogent Communications Holdings Inc. and Level 3 Communications Inc.

                      @Dashrender According to Mark Cuban, it means that QVC can't be on Comcast any more. The logic escapes me so far.

                          I'm still trying to comprehend the silliness of his comments.

                            And nothing of value would be lost there.

                              Ah, you are misreading this. I read this and the only bit I got was "Mark Cuban is a moron and doesn't know the difference between a LAN and the Internet and should stop talking."

                                I actually didn't read anything. I just watched the video and listened to the dummy talk.

                                    I'm trying to follow Mark's logic - he's saying that the cable companies will have to change how they deliver cable channels based on this ruling? is that where QVC comes into the conversation?

                                    What does a dedicated service for specific channels have to do with an open service like access to the internet? They aren't the same at all. In the case of Cable, you are paying a fee for access to specific channels, with an ISP you're paying for access to this thing called the internet, with access to the nearly infinitely different sites on it, many of which come and go at a drop of a hat.

                                      So basically he is saying that people will only get shows that you want to watch and not pay for shows you don't want to watch. What is the problem?

                                        Also does anybody younger than 50 actually watch QVC?

                                          I agree with Mark about QVC going away. They cannot compete on the internet when you are a click away from amazon, ebay, or many other sites that have low, low prices.

                                          That being said, I don't have a problem with QVC going away. I understand he probably does since its a big money maker for him. Boohoo a billionaire loses a source of income.

                                            Let's hope that Net Neutrality makes Mark Cuban go away.
