Full of Tubes.

Post by Eviticus »

Ok, so this video I'm about to post was posted March 20th, a month and 10 days ago. So....a wee bit late on this bandwagon, I know. But I troll so many forums and keep my ear to the ground, why haven't I heard of this yet?

Because apparently according to the guy in charge of regulating the internet, it's Full of Tubes.

And I had a bright idea while hearing all of this nonsense. Behold, my craptacular picture.
In the end, I'm just talking out of my ass. So take it all with a grain of salt.

If it wasn't for the fact that they own some of my favorite networks that broadcast many of the shows I love I would totally boycott them.

Damn mega-corporations owning everything.

Um...does this mean I now own stock in Microsoft?

"Yes."

Ok, let me find something else that covers it. And you know, this may be why I'm having problems finding The Daily Show segments on YouTube....Viacom could be shutting them all down.

Here, this video here is part of Senator Ted Steven's speach given to Senate. For those who cannot decipher 'Rambling Old Man' talk, here's what's going on.

Net Neutrality means that you can use the Internet. They don't care what you use the Internet for, go ahead and use it. You get billed the same whether you are downloading animal documentaries, porn, playing FFXI or WoW, playing WC3, doing your homework, or whatever. The only way people can really charge more is if you want a better connection. More speed, higher cost per month, right?

Some bozo's in Washington say that's not right. Ted Stevens is refering to Netflix I think. They, instead of mailing you your movie, want to send it to you over the internet. It's cheaper for them then to pay shipping charges, and that means you save money too. Mr Stevens however thinks that "The Internet is not a giant truck you can just dump something on. It's a series of tubes. And these tubes can be filled."

So they wish to charge companies who will use the internet for commercial use -more- for no reason other then they are using it for commercial use. Now, if you think that's fine and dandy with you, think about this. Phone companies charge you for where you call, and how long. (Sometimes depending on your plan, maybe not even both of those figure in.) They do not bill you based on -what you're talking about-. Because that's silly. >.>;

I mean, the Phonelines are a series of wires, right? If all these big commercial companies just start using the phone lines for their business instead of just driving to the person's house...holy crap, our phonelines will be clogged! Quick, charge more for people doing commercial transactions! ....silly, ain't it.

To quote John Stewart on the clip I originally tried to post, "It appears that Ted Steven's tubes are clogged and he needs some fiber....opitic cabels..."

Quite simply, the Internet is vast enough, and technology far enough, that movies -can- be streamed over the net causing no problems to the average user. You know, besides the person recieving said movie. His bandwidth will be boned unless it's high.

(Also, this is pretty funny too.)
In the end, I'm just talking out of my ass. So take it all with a grain of salt.

Netflix offering movies through your computer is a cool idea. Its working on the 360 in spite of the stupid points system Marketplace uses.

As for Senators and the internet Frontline proved that what they know lies somewhere between Jack and sh*t. One Senator actually said the Internet is not a physical entity. Yes, it is dumbass. Its a giant network of computers. :roll:

Yep, you have to love the American democratic system, where you get to vote for one of two candidates, both of whom are chosen by someone else.

Actually. Its more about people who have the money sell themselves using these series of tubes. Or in other words. Their own sh*t is clogging our tubes. Holy crap batman!

Actually. I saw a video of a Japanese Reformist posted. If our government would allow unadulterated and equal advertisement by people. 'lo behold our system would sudden be uncorrupted... or at least less than what we have right now.

Actually, as far as "the internet is not a giant truck for you to dump things on for free" goes, I think that is probably one of the best comments I've seen from anyone in government. It's EXPENSIVE to fund everyone else's garbage on the wire.

The only reason spam is so damn profitable is because it's nearly FREE to the spammer. The costs for everyone else are huge. Same thing for streaming video. Bandwidth is far from free. I'm all for anything and anyone that wants to charge more for those who want to use more bandwidth.

Unfortunately, the single biggest problem for internetworking is IDENTITY. You can't charge someone unless you know who to charge. You can't even effectively regulate anything unless you know who to prosecute. At present, it's far too easy to hide on the internet. Anonymity = anarchy. Identity is the key to civilizing the internet and it's desperately needed.
