This hurts the development of the internet, it hurts businesses that depend on digital distribution to sell their product, and finally it hurts everyday Americans who use the internet for learning, to earn a living, or to entertain themselves with the media of tomorrow. ISP's argue that a mere few consume the most bandwidth, and therefore all should be punished with restrictive monthly caps on their usage. This is wrong. The internet is growing and expanding. Video is everywhere, online gaming is an industry unto itself, and internet appliances are finding their way into more and more American homes. Americans everywhere are enjoying richer more prosperous lives because of the rise of the modern internet. What is the respone of the large Cable/DSL providers in America? STOP IT! SLOW IT DOWN! CEASE AND DESIST! NO! NO! NO! Please do everything you can to restore the promise of the internet, and stop companies who failed to invest in the American internet infrastructure from robbing their customers of the many benefits of a free and unlimited internet.</p><p>Unhappy Democrat said:<br /><div class="ugc"><p>I've been voting for Democrats since I could vote more than a decade ago, but I am very unhappy with Obama's performance as our President.</p> <p>In my opinion, if he's not going to do anything to fight this broadband cap, the killing of Bin Laden doesn't mean anything to me.</p> <p>Bin Laden = foreign and have no direct impact <br />Broadband Cap = Constantly on people's minds</p></div></p> Unhappy Democrat
