This isn’t about content at this time. This is an issue between the major carriers against Google. Google is attempting to establish itself as a premiere software provider.
The major carriers are also providing software to its users and this brings them into conflict with Google. The carriers have at times blocked access to Google or have forced their users to use the software provided by the carrier.

These initial rules are to ensure that the carriers do not block or prevent internet users from accessing software from any provider on the internet. This is why Google was so heavily involved in the O’s campaign. Today’s action was the quid pro quo from the O administration to Google.

While this initial action seems evenhanded, this opens the door to the FCC actually controlling content on the internet. with the 2012 election just around the corner, all stops are going to be pulled in an effort to get the O relected.

If this action is not rolled back, the FCC will move to control the conservative and Tea Party movement. This is why today’s action by the FCC was so reprehensible.

Think Chavez, with nuclear weapons.

You seem to understand this issue. Tell me, why do csrriers want to block our access to Google or force us to use software that they provide? Why are these internet providers opposed to allowing all of their users unfettered access to the whole web?

I don't always trust government, but have you ever tried to get a problem solved by Time Warner?
