From Wired, we read of some yimmer-yammer from Alaska's answer to the intellect of GWB, namely, Ted Stevens. We think he is talking about Netflix in this beginning paragraph, but we could be wrong.
27B Stroke 6 There's one company now you can sign up and you can get a movie delivered to your house daily by delivery service. Okay. And currently it comes to your house, it gets put in the mail box when you get home and you change your order but you pay for that, right. But this service isn't going to go through the interent and what you do is you just go to a place on the internet and you order your movie and guess what you can order ten of them delivered to you and the delivery charge is free.Ten of them streaming across that internet and what happens to your own personal internet?I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially.
oh, there's more if you want a giggle, and an audio file if you have the time.
Net neutrality is being argued by this idiot? Here's the thing. No person can be expected to be knowledgeable about all topics, present company excluded of course. But, if you are bloviating on the Senate floor in support of some legislation, one would hope, pray even if one was a praying sort of person, that prior to raising to speak, one had at least an inkling of knowledge on the topic at hand. Senator Stevens sounds like he has never even turned on a computer, much less has an understanding of the underlying issues. I don't even think he understands the surface issues, just knows who is paying for his re-election campaign.
