The two Republican FCC Commissioners (out of a total of five) know exactly how important this new plan really is. Commissioner Ajit Pai has called the new FCC plan “a massive shift in favor of government control of the Internet…everything from your wireless service plan, to your wire line connection at home.”
These new rules would not only affect your services, it would also give FCC regulators the power to decide what content on the Internet was “just and reasonable.” Commissioner Tom Wheeler makes the absurd comment that the FCC would never use those powers. But in a February 4 issue of Wired, he already hints at ways bureaucrats could start dictating what they view as “threats” on the Internet:
“…my proposal includes a general conduct rule that can be used to stop new and novel threats to the Internet. This means the action we take will be strong enough and flexible enough not only to deal with the realities of today, but also to establish ground rules for the as yet unimagined.”
In other words, they want to establish new rules and regulations for stuff that hasn’t even been imagined yet!

I think it’s great that the providers can’t charge more for faster internet service.
But I can’t really utilize those higher speeds until I get a computer with a faster chip in it. I’m guessing Toshiba will now be forced to sell those better models at the same low price as their slower models?
What I REALLY can’t wait for is my new Ferrari!!
Hmmm. If the companies are forced to provide stuff with all the same speeds - will the speed go up? Or down? I imagine that the new law (all 317 pages of it) will have something in there about limiting the amount of profit they can make. So much for research and system upgrades to be able to provide higher speeds.
“The trees are all kept equal. By hatchet, axe, and saw.”
With gutless Pubbies in the congress? I doubt it!
whatever they can't do at the beginning they will institute some weekend when Nobody is paying attention.
I know, right? All this fearmongering. Geez, next thing you know, these crazy people will worry about social security numbers being used for identification!

“Under my plan, internet service costs would necessarily skyrocket.”
Dems think they wrote bullet proof
CWII Spark Ping — Article: “In other words, they want to establish new rules and regulations for stuff that hasn’t even been imagined yet!”
Since when does an agency define their jurisdiction rather than have it given them by Congress?
Now that they’ve got their foot in the door, who’s to say that they wouldn’t do that next, presuming that you are correct in what you say.
“but it does not give the FCC the power to determine whether content itself is “just and reasonable.”
Actually, you cant say that. They haven’t released the 332 page document they passed.
German / EU fits the bill Anti-Christ, Gyorgy Schwartz (Soros) got his wish:destruction of the U.S. Socialized medicine set up as the guise to collect everyone’s data for the NWO, illegal amnesty / Cloward -Piven methof of destroying the U.S. financially, destroying sanctity of marriage, widespread sexual deviance, drug channels galore with the legalization of marijuana in multiple states, comtrol of ALL media and its delivery channels now with Net Neutrality, near disarmament of The People, nurdering of innocent Christians, just about damn near abolishing the Constitutional rights we have including freedom of speech using Net Neutrality, control and regulation of the environment with climate change and carbon credits, killing of national soveignty and redacting borders, etc... oh there’s more but my fingers are getting tired...
You really haven’t considered he might be the AntiChrist? Looks very possibe. Just not sure who The Dragon and The Beast are because both are so damn destructive
I do not know that either. It is not broke so why do have to fix it. Might be some Fed agency on a power grab .
“Actually, you cant say that. They haven’t released the 332 page document they passed.”
Fair point.
Well, I know how FR is going to feel when this site gets the boot. I just had a thread removed that linked Paul McGuire’s live interview on endtimes. I had also given the link to Jonathan Cahn’s interview. I am feeling rather ambivalent toward FR at this moment.
I think we can use airwaves. There are people on this site that know a lot about using radio. i’m not that smart but if you keep your radio on so that people can transmit thru it, then they get to the address at the end.
Which forum did you post it to?
Yeah ... strange that a government agency declaring new regulations about the Internet does not have those regulations instantly available on the Internet. Never mind that those regulations, as proposals, were kept secret until inflicted upon the nation. This does not bode well.
It’s back up again. I’m feeling better.
