In a matter of months, the internet may no longer exist as a publicly accessible medium, because video clips are swamping the system by overload. "Net neutrality" says there is no problem, and no attempt to solve the non-problem can be allowed.

Industry may or may not produce an equitable solution, but the promoters of net neutrality do not even suggest a solution; they forbid any solution, while the problem is destroying the internet. It's like a car heading for a brick wall, while someone says, "don't hit the brakes; we might bump our heads."

For this reason, net neutrality looks like a scheme to subvert public accessibility to the internet. Nothing could be worse than doing nothing. If industry produces an unfair response, Congress or the courts could take action accordingly. But a pretense of net neutrality is being used to prevent anyone from solving the problem.

I first created my web site in 1997. At that time, it was impossible to use the internet effectively during the day because of traffic overload. I had to do uploading during the night when traffic subsided. Then upgrades to the backbone with high speed fiber optics freed up the internet to a point where there were no delays. As recently as a year ago (2007) there were no delays due to traffic volume on the internet. Now there are.

In 2008, the internet is starting to look like 1997 again, and video clips are the reason. A video clip puts about 10,000 times as much data on the internet as a web page, and it may be viewed for the same amount of time.

When this problem started to swamp the machinery of Comcast, they put delays on large volume traffic. The persons affected screamed bloody murder. The fixers claimed net neutrality was being violated. Comcast repented and vowed to sin no more, but the watchmen claim they still sin. The FCC says they don't know what the problem is—rowboats don't use fiber optics, do they?

If a person drives a thousand times more than someone else, he buys a thousand times more gas, and he pays for the privilege. If a person puts ten thousand times more data on the internet, he pays the same as everyone else, if he pays at all. Apparently, in many instances, video clips are being stored and sent for free.

Since the gods who control our lives (in the government) don't know there is a problem, nothing is being done about it. The internet will be unusable before they know why.

The internet was not designed to handle 10,000 times more traffic. The increase in video traffic is unlimited and just getting started. Not only can anyone with a camera create any amount of video, apparently free, even if they can't create a web page; but once it exists, any number of copies can be sent around.

The solution would be simple: require a data output fee on an incremental basis—not a one-time fee which only the privileged can afford, but a fee in proportion to usage. It will stop the nonsense in its tracks, which means the fees can be nonexistent for users who avoid video on their web sites or peer-to-peer. Let the ones who use video pay more, since video is what is creating the problem. This would be net neutrality plus a solution. But the net neutrality squad is trying to enforce net neutrality without a solution.

In other words, right now, neither side is representing the needs of the public or the normal users who do not use video; but the industry approach might solve the problem (no one knows yet), while the so-called net neutrality approach is preventing anyone from solving the problem.

The fake net neutrality being promoted is a subversion of the publics' interest drawing in gullible fools who don't know what they are doing, just like the carbon dioxide fraud does.

Innovation is the propaganda term for promoting the problem. The implication is that people should expect to be surrounded by video screens keeping them in touch with the rest of the world in real time. That goal is fine; the problem is that it will never be achievable with an internet based on fiber optic cables. Promoting it with existing technology is doing nothing but subverting the internet. The frauds need to create the technology for their goals before destroying what already exists.
