    So I've been looking at the responses and there's some interesting facts I'd like to point out. They probably will surprise you.

    First of all, the media has probably completely botched what "net neutrality" is. It's not about fast lanes or information or any of that. Based on the survey results we have so far, the term "net neutrality" is "network neutrality".

    It actually means that the network infrastructure is being regulated, not the broadband access itself. This means ISP's cant grow or expand without permission. They merge to cover already owned territories of other companies. Which the FCC decides on.

    The ISP's aren't against us or anyone, it's the FCC that has restrictions on us.

    We also found out that a city has access to 10Gbps, the city being Chattanooga, and the city had created a company named EPB. The EPB has told the FCC to lift expansion restrictions beyond their 600 square mile range (the size of the city) and the FCC has done nothing about it. Obama in presidency has congratulated Chattanooga for being the fastest in the nation and to encourage other companies to move forward. But that may mean that his net neutrality law prevented them from expanding, hindering the infrastructure.

    This is a fight against how many people can access infrastructure, not actual access to content. To expand companies have to "merge", also under FCC's decision, but they can leave the merger and it's a never ending loop. The only ones who benefit are corporations with these restrictions as new ISP's can't be created or expand to new territories. ISP's want to get rid of the expansion problem. That's why they want to get rid of it being a "utility", because utilities can't expand without government approval.

    Network neutrality, in this way, is bad because every company has to remain neutral to new infrastructure. It probably has nothing to do with content on the internet itself. So either you can see it as restriction to content (bad), or restriction to building new infrastructure, such as cell towers (bad).

    Based on my research, I think that if the FCC losses this, they can no longer control how ISP's do infrastructure. Which is completely not even close to what we're hearing on the news.

    Here's my report and the survey is also available at the bottom if you want to take it.

    What I do doesn't revolve around net neutrality because I think it's not the problem. With or without net neutrality is hindering to what my business does. It's not something we talk about because we know we won't be affected.

    But our research does correlate to what SpookAI has stated. It could help in more ways than harm. That's why I put this survey here. If you look at the data (which is public access), you will find consistency of price and expansion restrictions to ISP's. That's interesting and we didn't think we would find such a pattern.

    Actually. I think this guy is right. It would make sense. Of my understanding of the Internet as a utility, the real people who would be our enemies are and always have been the FCC. Due to restrictions on the expansion of utility companies. If net neutrality ends, it reopens the control for ISP's to offer new services in new areas.

    I own an internet company so I have refused to state my stance on the matter. But I must say, it's better to be prepared for whatever happens.

    I just wanted to say we have a test market starting sometime next month. It took awhile to convince others that this is a good opportunity.

    Currently, I do not have investors. There's been a few people wanting to help purchase things. I've decided to put the money up myself. I'm currently in a negotiation to buy a domain for $2,000. I don't think it's going to go through but it's an opportunity to look beyond where the original owners of it failed.

    I do run a business which is computer services and repairs for small businesses and residential. However, it's been really difficult to get into the residential aspect. Computers aren't having issues like they used to. Computer shops still sell VGA cables, power cords, headphones, those things are the same things that caused RadioShack to crumble.

    Most of the money is coming from those small businesses. That comes from setting up their computers and doing their social media. I've started investing recently and I've begun to see ways to bring value in people's lives for a good price. Internet has been the big thing.

    On top of this financial concept, I've designed a way to split the cost of advertising the same way as the Internet. Then sell that particular service to others at a much higher cost than that advertisement cost per business. Then I can expand that service to others who didn't for more money.

    I'm not the greediest person. If you aren't willing to take a loss to do something different, you will keep doing what everyone is doing. And most times those people fail. It's just depends on how you look at the numbers. Don't look at the people who's costing you the most money, look at the numbers. There's no such thing as a business that doesn't have to pay for liabilities.

    Our ultimate price, is controlling the price of the Internet for the end consumers. It's crazy and I'm not sure how it's going to work. I don't know if it's profitable. But I'm willing on trying. I'm the sole person in all this by the way. Everyone else is a supporter.

    I'm aware of a computer group that's on PMC and there's a trend of technologies coming out, there always has been. We have Bitcoins, Intel making new stuff constantly, new cryptocurrencies, web browsers based on torrent services. But no one is really pushing the boundaries of the Internet. I just came up with this in a total of 2 hours after Harvey hit and I had nothing better to do.

    The domain is in the process of being bought. We're currently approaching the tug of war. I have put in an offer for the domain. It may or may not be enough.

    It sounds easy. That's the tricky part. There's actually a science behind it. It's the same science that makes us addicted to Facebook. I've tried to do this myself and it works somewhat but it's so dynamic and unpredictable. It does have potential though when done by the right person.

    Hey guys! I took some time to work on the game for a few hours and it's coming along very nicely! Much better than the previous games I've worked on.

    It is all text based with the random generated start cash, virtual board, stocks, and company creation. It's doing very well.

    It is currently a one player game though.

    I've been experimenting with some new ways to transfer data back and forth. One that is much more effective than using standard, traditional methods. However, in this application, it might be overkill.

    My knowledge on networking is minimal.
