I believe the internet as we know it will disappear within 5 years, maybe sooner, when the FCC gets control. The FCC is one of the absolute worst Government agencies in existence.
Freepers howling for Julian Assange's head and the dismantling of Wikileaks had better think again. If the FCC or any other agency brings down Wikileaks for printing the truth they'll have no problem getting rid of Rush, Fox News, or any website they deem subversive and yes that will include Free Republic.
Herr Goebbels' spirit is alive and well in the USA.

The House should bring this dick head Genachowski in for waterboarding first chance.

None of FR, Fox, Rush have gone and spied out classified or secret diplomatic documents, nor have they ever shown signs of caring to do so. If repercussions cannot be brought upon an out and out spy who uses the internet as his bulletin board, whom can they be brought upon?

“The House”
The house should water-board themselves then shoot themselves.

The FCC is among my top 10 list of federal agencies that need their budgets slashed so hard that they can’t afford to function. We now control the purse strings and we made it clear that reducing the size of government was a top priority so get ready to start cutting where it counts.

“The House should bring this dick head Genachowski in for waterboarding first chance.”
Agreed. Heck, I already wanted to see them hung from a lamppost for imposing digital TV on us.
I tell you, the so-called do-gooders in government have been doing nothing but make our lives as irritating as possible. They junk a TV system that had worked perfectly fine for decades so cell-phone companies could have more bandwidth, they want to force crappy, mercury-filled light bulbs on us, low-flush toilets that don’t actually save any water, and now they think they can impose Chinese-style internet censoring?

From past palaver about this matter, it looks like it is a looie libertarian push to ban ISPs from furnishing cut-rate premium content associated with themselves which other ISP customers would have to pay the full rate to get. If this is being pushed to an out-and-out viewpoint discrimination, I’d think this would go to the USSC as a First Amendment case pretty quick.

Start calling members of the new Congress 24/7 demanding they do something about the current police state!

Administrative law will be the (well one of many) ruin of us. How did we come to Political appointees making law?
To: Graneros
If this were the 1800's, this administration would have a "Leaflet Fairness Act" which would have banned all leaflets thus limiting free speech and descent. Isn't is neat that this same crowd, growing up in the 60's-70's, would have been the first ones to support free speech and descent, and now that they are in charge, want it suppressed?
Hillary: We have a right to debate and disagree with ANY administration!

When they are finished, the only “freedom” left will be the “freedom” to be a pervert of one variety or another.

The new house will not be seated until January.
There needs to be tea parties being held this month and continually throughout the year, both to keep the pressure up and to find candidates to take the reigns of power from establishment Republicans.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

A federal court already has ruled that the FCC does not have authority to do this. The new Congress should reverse this ASAP and start budget cuts with the FCC.
