qualcommmmon Republican net neutrality bill would gut FCC’s authority over broadband

I agree with you. Government regulation of the internet is going down the wrong hole. It's odd that opposing opinions can't be discussed on HN. They're just downvoted into oblivion and a hivemind forms.

qualcommmmon Republican net neutrality bill would gut FCC’s authority over broadband

Several big name tech companies are against net neutrality rules: Intel, Qualcomm, Cisco, IBM, Juniper Networks, Corning, Panasonic, dLink, Broadcom, Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent, among many other notable tech companies.

It's ignorant to assume only those who support this bill benefit from political contributions. It almost seems as if the people who are most knowledgeable about networks (ie companies that actually build the darn thing) are against net neutrality rules.
