Remember when you paid for what you used and not for what you thought you might use? Best trick ever. Cell phone companies start the trend and then land-lines (what's that?) came along with minute packages. Imagine the net going back to the old days of AOL with per minute charges. I'd go back to fax machines. I wouldn’t be surprised if they (ISPs) were just looking to pull the same coup phone companies pulled so long ago.

I've tried to bring it up several times in different RE.net forums but it hasn't gained the traction it should. I think NAR has done a good job in trying to get the issue front and center, I know they have tried to do a few things through CRT as well. So hats off to NAR, I agree with their position and look forward to their success in spreading the word through the membership base. As a former ISP executive, I understand SOME of the concerns that the current providers and TELCO's have, but left to their devices, they will use their considerable lobby skills and deep pockets to create off ramps to the so called information super highway and the toll booth will be considerable to reach the content that is highest in demand. I believe in letting the web continue to grow as it has for the last 15 years or so. Screwing with it now will only kill one of the best opportunities we have to pull our economy out of the crapper. I'll continue to do all I can to help educate people on the issue. This issue has been around for some time now.

The opponents have catchy soundbites that are very, very misleading. The real danger was during the Bush administration - they supported internet "freedom" - that is the freedom of broadband companies to "control" the internet. The Obama administration has been very supportive of net neutrality. One of the biggest dangers for agents who blog was that such a change would absolutely favor the big sites such as Zillow that are flush with VC - they could pay their way to the top of the pile - content notwithstanding.

Hopefully this will be the first in a series of posts by you, Lani, and others from AG and the various blog and news sites that seem to command the most agent presence. The ground swell that precipitated the appointment of Jay to the MLS committee will hopefully be repeated for this issue.
