:wha?:

That's some very creepy stuff, right there. I won't go political - and I ask that others respect the non-political nature of the forums - but I will say that this absolutely concerns me as someone whose data traverses multiple provider networks from source to destination. I would prefer that, if regulations are being repealed, that the ones protecting privacy not be in that bunch.
Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.

Well, isn't *that* just dandy. Now content providers can line up ISPs like they were cable franchises. Watch out for when they bundle in live sports streaming, even if you're not watching the particular sport being streamed...

Concerning and disturbing news all around.  No surprise why sales of Orwell's 1984 are spiking again.  I use to think Tom Wheeler was untrustworthy, but this is a whole new era of the feds being in bed with big business.

If you really want to get paranoid, go on youtube and watch some of those Conspiracy Theory shows with Jesse Ventura.

Anyone living in the USA that isn't paranoid belongs in a mental asylum.
