Why can’t I declare that I am the czar of the internet, or the highways, or grocery stores, or microchip factories, and start issuing edicts and laws?
Can local and regional and national internet service providers simply say FU to the FCC? How many divisions does the FCC have?
See you in fed court(s) FCC.
Three people, how can three people just say they’re in charge of the entire world wide web? Doesn’t seem possible.
These carriers bow to the FCC and this relationship goes back years. I have seen this up close. They will file lawsuits but ultimately submit for further punishment and abuse.
More affirmative action ignoramuses hired by Los Federales to regulate things to sheeeeeeet. Bureaucratic empire building at its finest. More tax money stolen from the peasants in the provinces to pay high salaried Federal trough feeders in the greater DC region which already is the wealthiest slice of America.
Creating more Federal jobs, over regulation and overreach is what is going on more than just “net neutrality”. The prime mover here is ever more Federal interference in private sector matters that do fine just by themselves
Obama’s Organizing for Action will receive a Huge Contract to help Neutralize all enemies of Obama
What.... you tired of being governed by the left side of the bell curve? You need to refill your white guilt tank.
Federal agencies cannot grant themselves powers. There HAS to be other entities involved.
I like your thinking.
And as such I call dibs on being Czar of salons that offer full Brazilian wax jobs for bikini models.
“Net neutrality” is “net control”
It is Operation Chock Point applied to the First Amendment.
"The goal is to prevent providers from slowing or blocking web traffic, or creating paid fast lanes on the Internet, said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler."
Why is this a bad thing?
Will we be required to listen to Obama speeches and government pronouncements as part of the price of using the internet?
Pop-ups like “If you love your family, and your government, you’ll buy only government certified organic Hemp seed oil”
If the cable companies can’t charge for upgrades they will have to spread the cost. That means the “little guys’” costs will go up. The big cable companies are not going to cut their profits. They own way too many politicians. And their complaining is BS/
With government programs, when does the stated goal ever turn out to be the actual goal?
Yeah, I also read that the new regs are 300 pages. You do not need 300 pages to simply ensure fair and equal access for all.
A lot of folks are simply cancelling cable (I am next week) and watching TV via Roku and Youtube.
correct.... But even if these were legitimate hires via ability and civil service tests it is till wrong for Los Federales to be sticking their fingers in every private sector pie
Los Federales are engaged in a shakedown racket. Aggrieved parties are always contributing to Senators and CongressCritter in an effort to get The Feds off their backs. So congress kind of likes over regulation and Congressmen know how to make it benefit them, to keep themselves in office
