There are supporters of Net Neutrality right here on FR.
They ignorantly fall for the BS story about those evil Carriers (you know, the phone companies) who will pick winners and losers on the Internet.
NOTHING could be further from, or a greater distortion of the truth.
It's VERY simple: Should a business owner be able to charge extra for better service? Or, must they serve all comers equally no matter how much time and effort (resource/bandwidth cost) they require?

The FCC’s track record with the media is as a censor.
That is where they will go. No matter the tax straw man that is the presenting justification, they will go eventually to censorship.

I wonder if future authors will write about the ‘shot heard around the world’ involving hamstringing the internet???

"they will go eventually to censorship"
Count on it.
Take that to the bank.

You will see I predict a new creative effort for a free internet down the road.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
If power comes from the end of the gun, then liberals have disarmed themselves given their hatred of the 2d amendment
....just sayin’

“It is deeply disturbing that FCC staff appear to be disregarding arguments that do not fit a preconceived agenda,” said Phil Kerpen, President of American Commitment, which organized over 800,000 comments against net neutrality. “As an independent, expert agency, the FCC has an obligation to weigh arguments and evidence evenly before making decisions. However, the FCCs recent process failures threaten one of the greatest assets of any independent agency: its perceived objectivity.”
It’s “objectivity” is compromised by direct orders from Obama saying “git ‘er done”.

The FCC needs to be cut way back to just licensing of frequencies for broadcast radio/tv and public saftey and business 2 way radio systems.

Rather it will be spoken by those Americans who armed up themselves.

There has been mounting evidence in the last two weeks that the Internet, one of the last unregulated venues for communication, might well be headed for federal regulation. Well, being as one of the LEAST regulated venues for communication, by all means it MUST be regulated. What would we do without these people telling us how to run our lives?
F U B O!

If that happens, look for revolt to start. It should have started LONG ago. They know that the majority of people are sheeple and will follow whatever orders are given.
We are mere frogs in hot water waiting to boil.

If the FCC tries something like that, the agency will be immediately hauled into court on violation of the Free Speech provision of the First Amendment. Otherwise, things as extreme as Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto would have been banned a long time ago.
