From what I heard on Chris Plante’s show this morning, the FCC usually does not release rules until they implement them, unless they’re controversial. However, most pro-liberty people would consider #ObamaNet as something controversial, I assume.
ObamaNet Nanny State PING!
They’ve just called the internet something akin to 30s phone service. How that could fail to be controversial is beyond me.
Thanks for the ping!
Not true. The FCC usually posts a Notice of Proposed Rule Making. The public can then comment. The FCC will then amend the rules, make no changes or not implement any of the proposed changes.
Well, I have a question. Where does DSL stand in this equation? I had DSL, and it got progressively slower, to the point where it was unviable. Now how could this be? I don’t believe my connection capacity was diminishing.
My conjecture is that the servers were becoming increasingly intolerant of slow connections, and DSL was being “kicked to the side of the road”, just as dial-up had been. So, I was forced to give it up and move to COMCAST.
So now we see on HuffPost how all these lefty groups are taking credit for this “democratic” upheaval of the staus quo, and the question occurs, are these just a bunch of indignant DSL users? Is that what it’s all about? Slow down the internet to accommodate DSL ? ... and by the way give the FCC supreme dictatorial power over the internet????
