California Lawmakers Pass Net Neutrality Bill

CSM Charles Hayden 26 Years I worked in Telecommunications, 5 Years working for Sprint (Fiber Optics to Support High Speed Internet to include the ION Project). 3 Years in the Military I was Connected to the MILNET/ARPANET Project Forerunner to the Internet. Nothing Weird about this. Glad to See California Doing Something Right Unlike others in this Country. I Applaud this Law.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - Thank you.

The irony here is that "net neutrality" as California seems to be attempting to define it … reminds me vaguely of the U.S. interstate system some years back … more recently modified by "managed lanes" (see Houston, TX and Atlanta, GA for examples). Those managed lanes do little, if anything, to alleviate traffic congestion for the average schmuck (I've driven in both recently). I suspect that, as with the interstates through liberal cities, if the internet gets bogged down by a small class of high bandwidth users, "net neutrality", just like interstate neutrality, will go by the wayside. In the meantime, it sounds good.

SPC Margaret Higgins You should be Proud of Your State for Standing Up to Moneyed Interest, Big Business "You Want to do Business in this State, You Will Play by Our Rules" Thank God and considering the Number of Military Bases and Defense Industry Business in California that State has More Pull than Most can Imagine.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - Thank you, Chip. I feel very honored: both by your kind words and you; and to live in California.
