What’s Next for Internet Regulation? (Let the Dead Be Buried.)
ATR ^ | 11/8/10 | Kelly William Cobb

Posted on 11/08/2010 2:58:24 PM PST by Andrea19

Last week, every single signer of a Net Neutrality Pledge to regulate the Internet lost their election. Then, two days later on November 4, the FCC released their November meeting agenda and Net Neutrality was notably absent. So, where does the FCC’s (and the neo-Marxist left’s) pet project go from here?

Most agree that the FCC’s Title II Internet regulation scheme is dead. For almost a year, the Commission has threatened to reclassify broadband Internet under 1930s laws to enact Net Neutrality regulations, and then some. Yet, over 300 Members of Congress – a vast, bipartisan majority from both the House and Senate – have stated clear opposition to the approach. Further, the Republicans taking control of the House of Representatives in January are virtually unanimously opposed to Net Neutrality rules. If the FCC made a move to enact regulations by fiat, Title II would likely wind up in court for the next few years.

And you think government bureaucrats are actually competent and can have god like abilities to oversee millions of transactions in real time which the free market does effortlessly, when government bureaucrats are incompetent,idiotic, evil, corrupt,unaccountable marxist goons.

I wasn't calling anyone any names. I just said that most people on this thread sound like leftists to me .

Yep, he actually said that.

True, but I decided to overlook that, since he hadn't called me, personally, an "incompetent, idiotic, evil, corrupt, unaccountable marxist goon". My own characterization of government bureaucrats isn't quite that harsh, but I'll let his stand without challenge; it's close enough for government work. :)

Repeal those laws and regulations.

Repeal every law to 1890. Problems all solved as government is the problem not the solution.
