We've mentioned in the past how Comcast has been pretending to support net neutrality, with ad campaigns stating that it does -- clearly in an attempt to confuse the public.

Comcast and Microsoft are of the same ilk. Both speak with forked tongues. I am so sick of these big corporarations trying to deceive the public and spin their own lies and manipulations.

I am a pro-business guy with a BBA in Management. But I also paid attention in my business ethics classes.

You'll never get anywhere in business with that kind of attitude. :)

Yes, I'll never be as rich as the unscrupulous money grubbers out there. But, I have a conscience (now viewed as an impairment) and have to sleep at night.
@seatex: A lot of management seems to be populated by folks who are unfamiliar with the concept. Remember the call for more ethics content in business classes following the Enron scandal? Doesn't seem to have had much effect on some. Either that or those classes must be an elective in most business schools.

And who among us can really forget about the big hoopdeedah over the last few months when Comcast Support essentially THREW its customers Ryan Block and Tim Davis to the dogs!

One simple rule that should have never been broken...

Congress shall pass no law which does not apply equally to everyone. Obama laughs at this, BTW.

And "everyone" includes companies and politicians as well.

It is not the president's or congress' role to pick winners and losers, or to decide which of those are subject to our laws.

Net neutrality's biggest threat has always basically been corrupt politicians, who give favors for contributions.
> Net neutrality's biggest threat has always basically been corrupt politicians

If the lists of dead are any indication, then humanity's biggest threat is politicians.

After mosquitoes.
