But no we just sat back an let Rwanda have a go.

Just glad I don't live in the US

Hate to break it to you, but once ISPs realize how much profit they'll make from fucking people over, expect the model to become popular wherever you live as well.

Except European countries tend to have more choice in their ISPs, and can force their governments to back the hell down if they try to get rid of Net Neutrality, just like how Hungary did when their president tried to censor the internet.

The populace is free to send a message to the internet companies that they won't tolerate whatever horrific thing that ISPs do after it's repealed by canceling their internet service altogether.

Burning down their buildings and lynching their employees would do a better job at getting the message through.

That's also illegal. Definitely wouldn't support lynching their workers, most of them have no effect on policy decisions.

At this point, though, physical violence against the FCC and/or ISPs seems like the only solution.

This and Dead RIsing 3 are what happens when you let Western developers take full control of a Japanese franchise.

dead rising 2 was fantastic and that was made by western devs. i also thought 3 was very good as well, but not as good as 1 or 2

2 was supervised by the Japanese Capcom, though.

Would they even be able to see his tweets? Anyways, glad I don't have Comcast as my ISP, though I'm worried Cox may try this in the future (Though it seems at least their track record seems to be a bit cleaner than most of the other ISPs) if the other US ISPs decide to follow Comcast...

Does this apply to all countries or just the US?

Just the US. Some people worry that if it is found profitable, however, it might spread to other countries.


Many practises applied in the US takes a long time transfer across the world. Not only that, the US has different buiness and social practises compared to that the rest of the, whom have shown no interest in adapting the US's business practises, regardless of the possible profit it may offer.

For eg. Australia is really big on refund policies and the government doesn't allow business to sack/fire employees whenever they want, those are just some of the practises I know.

There is also the problem of most websites being based in the US and the US being one of, if not, the largest website visitor market, too. Don't know if Canada, Europe, Asia and Australia will be enough to keep most major websites alive if the US's internet goes to hell.

The rest of the world could be compelled to follow.

You really think they'd let their governments get away with that? Hungary, whose government is ridiculously authoritarian right now, tried to censor their internet recently, and they were still forced to back down when people got pissed about that. The rest of the world wouldn't just sit down and take it from their ISPs like the US would be forced to, they can actually really hurt them and their governments unlike the US.

Things will remain the same for them? However, most websites are based in the US, and the majority of people on the internet are American, so would sites be shut down because Australia, Canada and Europe aren't big enough markets to sustain them and/or the American ISPs or government could restrict international access to them? As for that thing going around about Portugal, they have Net Neutrality, it's just it doesn't apply to mobile, which is what those plans are for.
