They’ll do no such thing. They’ll pass some irrelevant crap that they’ll claim fixes the problem when the way to really fix the problem is stop funding the FCC until they yell mercy.
One more thing, how do you repeal something that was never made a law?
We ain’t stupid.
I’ve thought about this issue and I think that it basically boils down to who do you fear less: ISP’s or the government?
I don’t fully trust ISP’s but I trust them more than I trust the government.
To say that ‘net neutrality’ is a good thing is to postulate that government wants more free speech and that free enterprise is trying to squelch speech.
All of recorded history does not support that postulate
Yea, there is a backbone in the Republican Party! Good for them and the American people want to see A LOT more of this next year. Drag those power hungry agency bureaucrats / tyrants before Congress and slash their budgets so they can’t do as much damage.
One more thing, how do you repeal something that was never made a law? I would suggest arresting and taking those who participate in defying the Constitution to be tried and made to pay a price.
Using attitude to skin the cat?
Skinning a cat that has attitude?
IMHO the cat should be fed to a dog with attitude.
Within 5 minutes after the ruling was announced I fired off faxes to Snowe and Collins asking them what actions they were going to support to undo this. If I ever get an answer I'm sure it will be nonsensical mush.
YAY!
GETTING SOME BACKBONE!!!
If ISPs are free of government management controls, ISPs will be free to provide whatever it is the customer wants. If people don't like throttling, or whatever fad comes around next year, so long as customers can go to a provider who'll give 'em what they want and are willing to pay for, that'll be better, and spells F R E E D O M!

“Good on them.”
Some of them heard us after the last election.
Cut those funds to the bone and make them reverse this decision.
Sounds great, but the GOP is always great with the tough talk. Let's see what happens when they get control of the House and media attention is onto the next story. My prediction is they'll do nothing and hope the public forgets.
Repeal everything leftist, asap! Even better.
I won’t hold my breath.
What can happen?
People will start using MF'er MORE than now ?
1. Are you aware of any circumstance in which a common carrier has abused their position in this regard? I'm not. The FCC is proposing a solution for which there is no problem.
2. Are you aware that a federal judge has already decided against the FCC having any authority to undertake this step? Yet, they are doing it anyway. What does that suggest?
3. Nonetheless, in ostensibly blocking the power of the common carriers to conduct censorship, the FCC has accrued the power for itself. Why would they want that, do you suppose?
Hugo Chavez has only talked about taking this action in Venezuela. The FCC just beat him to it.
This. Is. A. Power. Grab.
Nothing less.
It is not a law, it is a ruling by the FCC.
