The weird thing here is WHAT is the big “problem” that supposedly exists that has to be rectified by government regulation of our flow of information on the Web? I have posted THOUSANDS of posts without any hindrance for years. Anybody else have such trouble? I think not yet here the FCC steps in to supposedly fix a problem that DOES NOT EXIST.

It's all about illusion.

“Security Theater”. The new catch phrase for the season.

Obozo just keeps fixing things in this country until it becomes so broken that by the time he's finished we'll have to start over, that's his plan.

I understand that a band had a live concert online and was censored by ATT when they made comments about Bush. These guys don't want to be censored by the carriers, but by the government. When the FCC gets it, we will all be hate speakers and homophobes, and the libs will be freedom fighters. Also, ATT seems to have wanted to regulate Skype calls for taking bandwidth or some such thing. This will also get into what data is sent on smart phones, so it's bigger than just blogs and such.

I guess the question is whether or not you are satisfied with the carriers conduct so far, or would you rather have the government "nationalize" the carriers. Hugo Chavez anyone?
