Regulators can be lobbied/convinced to see things from the perspective of the prospective winners.
And the losers are SOL.
Even IF they were always well meaning.
And of course we know they are not. They are for sale...if not now, when they rotate out to the private sector.
Before they rotate in again.
All designed to get control over significant Web content prior to the 2016 election. Mark my words.
May this pos have a Marie Antoinette moment in his future, just saying.
Politico must have got to read the 300+ pages we’re not privileged enough to see.
Ruh-roh! If Mr Wheeler doesn’t do exactly what Soros and Obama want.......he is likely in for a world of hurt! That’s what happens when you have a puppetmaster and a willing stooge in charge.
Why is Gargle allowed to read the regulations and Congress is not? Hmmmmm?????
If you look at this schlemiel’s history, he is Mr. Non-Profit of the Internet.
Non-Profit. That is, just waiting for the chance to trade Control for future Gov’t Contracts.
Those who can, do, those who can’t, regulate.
That he is enough of a schmuck to be willing to be Obama’s fall guy for this, says all you need to know about him.
The power to regulate is the power to destroy. “You didn’t create this” is about to become the law of the land. Who out there actually thinks nationalizing the internet is a good idea?

The IRS targeted anyone they considered the government’s enemies and got away with it. They’ll do the same thing with the internet. It won’t be that they’ll charge a site like Free Republic $10,000 for a license and the Huff Post $10. They’ll just simply deny Free Republic’s license application.
The question is simple. What can the people do about it?
Whenever Obama is getting to much bad press he always introduces a new controversy so the people will be distracted and, thus, Congress will not have the people behind them for the last treasonous act.
Alinsky tactics. We need it all to catch up with him VERY soon.
well lets take it back. I personally don’t need a server at comcast to house my internet stuff. My pc can house that and just allow access to everyone. or buy an internet machine that does that. now the network. in the old days it was piggy backed on the phone system. (compuserve) if verizon does fios on phone lines which they are doing then i think you can create another internet. the indexing and where to find stuff is the key and i think that is name server. i’m just having fun speculating.
"Congress? What are they good for.
We will remove them, next."
All of you free internet people have lost your mind. First of all the internet was not even invented by a business. We all own the internet. ISP’s are only the gateway, they have built the infrastructure to access it. Thus we pay a fee to them for that connectivity. For monopolies to decide which websites we can access and how fast we can access them is akin to allowing your local gas or power company to charge you whatever they want. Supply and demand means nothing when you will literally freeze to death because the monopoly will charge whatever people can afford and that’s basically everything you have when it comes to life or death. The public utility makes a ton of sense because again they are only the gateway between us and a publicly owned distribution system.
