Hopefully they will give a public post mortem report with lessons learned.

Well, to keep it in the analogy, this is what the world without nn sounds like - "I bought a economy ticket but I am reaching lot late than the one who bought a coach ticket." It's not that I am getting a tight seat or shitty service. I am reaching late to my destination. That means eventually everyone would have to pay more depending on the whim of the carrier.

Express service on Amtrak costs more than the slower service.

It's not the whim of the carrier. It's what the carrier can negotiate. Why should the US Gov't be part of that negotiation?

But if I don't mind arriving later to pay less for a ticket, why should I be prevented by the State from doing so?

The issue isn't the speed, it's what this arrangement can lead to. I believe the inherent right to information supersedes the wants of a few corporations. What we are really talking about is potentially losing access to valuable information. To me the internet is a public domain and limiting traffic like this is the equivalent of limiting speech.

But the internet is not a public domain; most of the infrastructure was built and paid by private actors.

If society considers it a real priority, should an actual public ISP be built, instead of forcing rules onto others'?

Public ISP would be a great idea. After all it is just a utility.

How do you deal with payscale?? Do you decide just some market rate or do you decide how much worth is their work? Doesn't it complicate when you have a business partner?

Payscale is balanced with current market rates. For us all it was always an easy topic anyway. I guess that the fact that we are italians helped a lot as we value very little individual wealth and give a lot of importance to family savings. Currently (mom joined about 1 year ago, my dad little less than 6 months) they are happy with what they get.

This is great. These kinds of open sourced production apps help people adapt more of haskell.

Well, Ideally I wouldn't want to keep opening and closing the slide up and down. So this is simpler but not nearly that useful. Apple strives to be secure and easy to use. That's why the top dollar for apple products.

Would you think we can apply this same argument when it happens to be an american wedding?? Hell no. drones or no drones, we will definitely have some policy changes and definitely some heads will roll.

If the United States had firebombed Denver instead of Dresden, yes, the US government would have made sure it didn't happen again.

"If you have cable companies, landline broadband, wifi, and other broadband providers fighting for your service, this is a much less big deal. It's stupid scare mongering"

I live in a suburban area. Not too far from metropolitan. and close to (5miles) to a major ivy league university. Lets see my options: verizon dsl (3mbs to 6mbs) - 54$ optimum - (15mbs but I barely get 1mbps at peak) 54$ soon to be 60$ wifi - sprint (4g/3g speeds, can say I get around 1 to 2 mbps)- 54$ for 4GB.

dslextreme (3mbs) for 24.99$

For me the best value for my money is dslextreme. If that option is taken away, then I don't really have much chioce because very one else is colluded and price is fixed in some private inter company meetings. So you are the one without any real facts just discrediting the real issues the article points out.

Is 4 choices not enough? The answer is more competitors and more technologies.

No, these choices are not really competitors for each other. I don't mind having only 2 choices if they were just comcast and optimum or at&t and verizon. I think you are confusing between choices and competitors. dslextreme is a competitor to verizon and thats what will keep verizon delivering better service. But if verizon and optimum are the only choices (with prices fixed) , none will work to make it better for the consumer. And lack of competition is the reason why these companies are jacking up prices.

that's because you have competition. Most of the places have no chioce. They are either stuck with optimum or verizon dsl. So you are in a minority. Also, clifton, nj is a rich neighborhood, thats why probably you have both fios and optimum.

Competition does force the provider to give you a better service. But most of the time it’s just that the provider decides to be awful. But that’s not always the case.

About four years ago I used to live in the Bronx, and the only thing in my area was Optimum, and the service was almost as good as now.

It's about the company caring for the customers.

I think this is taking an easy way out. If every one stops pirating and there is no piracy, raii/mpaa will make it expensive enough that poorer people will not be able to afford it or would be left out. Look at the isps and cable companies where there is no alternative(atleast in US) and they squeeze as much as they can out of the user giving as little as possible. In a way piracy is kind of a competition for media companies to make shows available for a reasonable price.

You can do this by filing H1B through a consulting company and start working for the startup as a contractor through the consulting company. One catch is that consulting company has to pay a minimum h1B salary for you which shouldn't be a problem if you do get into the accelerator. If you need help for filing H1B, let me know through email. Good luck.
