They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a truck.

It's a series of tubes.

And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and its going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material.

Now we have a separate Department of Defense internet now, did you know that?

Do you know why?

Because they have to have theirs delivered immediately. They can't afford getting delayed by other people.

He's one of the twits who has destroyed net neutrality.

Wow - thats some pretty scary rambling. Especially the last bit when he tries to wrap it up as a reason for not having any change to net neutrailty. Man, you gotta wonder what these people are smoking.

Why not get advice? In a position like that? Surely they would have consultants to provide a decent picture for this nugget to understand? mah.. more examples of the stupidity of the US and their policy making I guess :)
