Teleco's need to invest in FTTH like verizon and drop copper already.

And how exactly is the exa flood more of a concern than the much hyped giga flood of 1996? The very same issues where raised, the very same solutions were raised. In the end, just adding more capacity was cheaper.

Clever and educational. I liked it and it's interesting to learn a little bit about the future of the internet. I guess technology really is taking over.

2) What I think they should do is do what the Japanese telcos did, and open their infrastructure to startup companies, but charge them royalties for the usage. If they stop offering service directly and only through these other companies, we'd see an environment where they can profit from upgrading infrastructure and breaches of net neutrality will most certainly result in a loss of business.

1) I've heard that Japan forced their telecoms to open up their infrastructure to competition, and this led to an increased level of competition, and massive amounts of upgrades. Maybe the US telecoms do need a third revenue streams, but websites are not acceptable as a revenue stream.

Cute, clever, and as "educational" as the Ministry of Love.

The video only mentions large corporations's reasons why this should happen. Innovation has nothing to do with the argument. It's the allocation of resources going to a handful of corporations that I have a problem with. You want to turn the net into what Radio/TV has become: The average person has no input. I do not want another Telecom Act of '96 to happen where everyone loses except billion dollar companies. Net Neutrality is government regulation that curbs a few to protect the many.

Good video. Finally some information to counter the MoveOn crowd.
