It's their network, they shouldn't be told by the government what to do.
from the article:
I support verizon in this endeavor. Screw the FCC I don't need them.Verizon is suing to have the FCC's net neutrality order thrown out -- and it's not the first time, as Verizon was quick to challenge the FCC about this very issue in 2011 when the FCC first set such rules.
If they sell the top spots I'm ok with it because it's their network. If they edit out results because they feel like I'm very much against it. The sticky spot you get is when Verizon is teh only carrier so you don't have the ability to vote with your dollars.
This is a tough issue for libertarians because the telecoms are really state-sponsored entities, given monopolies, special privileges, and immunity from prosecution.
They don't OWN the airwaves so it is NOT exclusively their network to do as they want with! It is their signal they are using over Public airwaves that the FCC has the right and power to regulate. They don't own the spectrum they are using, they just own a permit to use it.

No, they own the right to use the airwaves, they don't own them. The airwaves are public, the government doesn't even have the right to own them, but they do and should have the right to regulate the use of the public airwaves in the USA.
Of course they own their towers, I never said they didn't.

Wrong. If everybody decided to use the same frequency and modulation for communications then the interference would mean only those with the strongest signals would have any chance of being understood. This is one area where we do need government regulation so that we can have effective communications over the public airwaves.
SSH tunnels and VPNs are your friends. They even work on phones.
