Free Press & the Left Have Had At Least Thirty 'Behind Closed Door' 'Sellout' Meetings with the FCC

While Free Press pitches a (staged?) hissy fit about one with AT&T, Verizon – and Google and Skype Chairman Julius Genachowski and his Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have been for quite some time seeking to drastically increase their regulatory control over the internet.

The Chairman and the Commission lack the legal authority to do this. They have been told this by (at least) a Clinton-appointee led federal appeals court – in the Comcast-BitTorrent case – and a bipartisan Congressional contingent, who wrote Chairman Genachowski letters telling him to cut it out.

Undaunted, Chairman Genachowski headed once more into the breach. On June 17th, he convened the five FCC Commissioners to vote on a proposed reclassification of broadband – from the lightly regulated Title I to the much more burdensome Title II. And the Commission voted to begin the investigative process, on a Democrat Party-line 3-2 vote.

You're right, The Drumbeat should be kept bumped.

Great article, thanks for posting.

Thank you for this crucially important ping.

And the meek shall inherit the earth... [II. Temples of Syrinx] ...'The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city. I Have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated And directed from within! Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by The benevolent wisdom of the priests...' We've taken care of everything The words you hear, the songs you sing The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes It's one for all and all for one We work together, common sons Never need to wonder how or why We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls Look around at this world we've made Equality our stock in trade Come and join the Brotherhood of Man Oh, what a nice, contented world Let the banners be unfurled Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx Our great computers fill the hallowed halls We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx All the gifts of life are held within our walls

Thanks for that link.

It is damned frustrating that so many on this site clamor for an architecture of total control, isn't it?

[P.O.E.]

BTTT.

Been wondering lately if it’s too late. Has Obamanism finally overbreached the dam and now the socialist juggernaut is unstoppable. November elections will tell the tale.

If we drop our guard, even for a moment, we and the country we love are toast.

That's pretty much what happened in Nov. 2008.

Ditto Gates.

If your talking Microsoft, Gates has Zero to do with that company these days.

And the worse it gets, the more we learn. Despite that...the corruption continues without accountability.

Or rather, we could see “angry blowback”, which would make Greece’s look like a “day at the beach”.

It will be the begining of a new civil war or revolution.

Fidonet?  Trouble with that is I no longer even own a modem. Wouldn't matter anyway as I have no landline.

I’m not sure what to do, but we’d better have a plan. Might be a good idea to organize it around the tea party groups. Maybe go low tech and pick a pre-determined time and local watering hole/eatery to meet at in the event of a an internet black out. Shades of our ancestors, eh? :) Everything old is new again.

Come to think of it, ham radio could be useful here, too....

[sauropod]

This is not good.

Its chilling. I have some books penned in the 1940’s by a conservative author.

This has been in the works and was recognizable for more years than anyone would care to know.

Can a turnaround be acheived with a couple elections?

I rather doubt it.

Thank you, Nachum.
