Karl Bode at Broadband Reports points to a Forbes editorial that blames Net Neutrality proponents for the emminent demise of the internet:
“According to Deloitte & Touche predictions, Internet traffic will start to exceed capacity as early as this year and large network providers won’t be expanding capacity,” insists this editorial over at Forbes. The result? “The traffic on many Internet backbones could slow to a crawl this year.”
Who’s to blame for this proclaimed bandwidth apocalypse? Network neutrality advocates, who are scaring off capacity investment, according to Phil Kerpen of Americans For Prosperity.
Deloitte & Touche’s actual capacity prediction can be found here, but they make no mention of network neutrality — instead stating companies aren’t increasing capacity “because consumers will be unwilling to pay increased costs.”
Americans For Prosperity. Oh, please. Only someone like Jack Abramoff could think that’s clever.
