Forget the average user, can you explain in detail how you envision this to work and be administrated at a network level?

So I'm a packet, leaving my computer...what happens now and what laws govern me?

So for the NN supporters have been very high on rhetoric and appalling low on details, which is always a prescription for legislative disaster.

I love the implication that it is somehow incumbent on NN supporters to educate you about how the internet works.....and the additional implication that there is a single set of laws that govern it.

If you actually understand neither the technical details, or the legal aspects, maybe you should take responsibility for educating yourself?

or, at the very least, avoid making deprecating comments about those who know more than yourself?

Accusing "NN supporters" of having nothing but hollow rhetoric is extremely disingenuous, and I find it hard to believe that even a casual reader of HN would not be able to find out more.

There is plenty of information and details out there supporting this idea, how it could and should be implemented, along with this being, as the article says, a "generally accepted norm" for a long time now.
