Robert McDowell, a Republican FCC commissioner also slammed the idea

And yet the community organizer wants even more government control.

This is what the progressives do they create a so called problem and then have to come up with a fix.

I live in a rural area and have satellite internet. It is the same price as if I had it from a company like Verizon that I had when I lived elsewhere.


I will once more make some calls to my senators and congressmen to see what they say.

Enough with this crap from Washington, ole ears should go back to the streets and just be what he is a community organizer.

 

While the idea of megacorps throttling my internet and deciding what I can and cannot watch is frighting, having the FCC in charge of protecting free speech online is much much worse.
Government censorship, wiretapping, and blacklisting similar to what happened in Britain, China, and Australia are not far off the horizon I fear.

 

I've been waiting for this to happen, it was just a matter of time. The one thing that the federal government did not have their clutches on, now they want to regulate and control this enterprise. Damned ole' federal government needs to ruin everything.

 

Too fuckin' late; money talks

Did you expect another outcome form the politicians??

 

Vote Libertarian, like me.

 

How's that working out for you?

 

Locally, there's a number of Libertarian candidates who run. Some win, but Texas is largely anti regulation, anti income tax, etc. Texas, and two other states have no income tax. Texas suffers only slightly from the recession, but we're doing far better here than in other parts of the country (i.e. California).

 

Lying fuckers

This was actually being considered for the past 6 yrs. They didn't have enough committee votes at that time.

 

And now the FCC has done it, So now obama has nationalized yet another part of America.

I guess we will have to learn to raise our right hand and say
HEIL obama"

 

Would the decision gone any other way if McLain was in office, you can almost smell the lobbyists money from England.

 

FCC Passes Net Neutrality in 3-2 vote

You'd be singing a different tune if the mega-corporations that control all U.S. media started to charge you for access to pornography. Obama is to be commended.

 

You best wait to start the chorus until after you read what the new regulations allow.

 

Simply put, I trust the government to protect the openness of the internet a lot more than I trust corporate America to do it. I'll take my chances, for the moment.

But look at what's happened to television. A generation ago, all the content was free, even though it was severely limited. Now, broadcast stations are all but dead, and you have to pay for cable or satellite service, and even more for high-definition service. Was that the result of government interference, or corporations trying to pick everyone's pocket?

 

Both. However, simply put, why fix it if it ain't broken?

You really should read the reasons for folks to be against these regulations.

Most complaints I have read come from outside the "industry". The thing that kick started this whole brouhaha was file sharing. The regulations might make it more difficult to openly share files now.

I say might because, no one seems to have a clear idea of what the regulations actually say. So I think I will withhold judgment until I can see something concisely written on the subject.

 

Kimiko does not care what's in it............as long as the federal government has their slimy mitts on it, she's as happy as a loon.
