How does Net Nutrality affect SE/XIV?

This will be in the courts now. No company will want their content throttled. And as soon as the ISP does it to any company it will become a legal case.

For all we know the Courts may decide that internet IS a utility voiding the FCC, the FCC is just some body like the EPA, It has no real authority, the courts do. This is going to take a long time. Perhaps even long enough for there to be a new president and new appointments.

The arguments made sense tbh. In rl traffic there's assigned roads for specific types of vehicles. Simply put, .coms are getting too big, they need to reconfigure or rebased their connections to several destinations especially since they're the most crawled from other sites too. It's not really a problem for the game since we already have split datacenters. Customers should be left alone inside a protection law, it's up to them where they want their content from, but the content provider should either provide that alternatives or deny them access.

No, the argument doesn't make sense. The analogy of the internet being like terrestrial traffic is complete nonsense thanks to the speeds provided by fiberoptic cable. The true fact of the matter is that data is cheap to generate, and all the associated pricing is completely arbitrary.

We're already paying far more than our fair share in the U.S., compared to Europe and Asia. With the subsidies that we citizens have already paid into the telecommunications industry, we are absolutely owed fast and affordable internet service as our due right. These companies are liars and thieves, flat out. Anything they claim to the contrary is a demonstrable falsehood, and scheming to have net neutrality repealed is among the greatest acts of corporate greed that have ever occurred, right up there with the housing collapse of '09.

You're confusing speed with data. If a sports car is really cheap and everyone has one, what does your road look like? The speed or any technology doesn't matter without the limits put on the road. The -true- fact is people want their sports car to anywhere instant, it's not even related to the -real- problem is the single destination everyone took.

No, federal judge appointments are lifetime, and they can only be removed by impeachment. This the legacy of the Republican's hold on the federal government, which is to fill the judiciary with their shills so when they do lose power and people start to fight and repeal the laws they've put into place, the courts will be there to stop them. Elections have consequences.

Many people have stated they hope that if and when the Dem retake the government, they would remove all federal appointments done by the GOP, but that would set a dangerous precedent (one that the Republicans would decry and then use once they got power).
