Who names their kid after a cut of meat?
NO!
The Clyburn part sounds familiar but Mignon???
Something tells me she's probably more like gristle.
No.
'Governance' of any communication between citizens is outside your scope of authority.
Allowing the FCC to continue to exist should be restricted to keeping broadcasters from walking over each others signal.
On/off ramps indeed. If you control access, you control everything.
Ten years from now we’ll be saying “Remember back when the Internet didn’t suck?”
TRANSLATION: The Community Organization Formerly Known as ACORN gets to decide who is allowed onto the Internet.
“I mean speed,” she said, “knowing exactly what you pay for, if you pay for it, making sure you get what you pay for. Ensuring that if you have a comparable product that you are treated the same way in which someone else is treated--even if there is an interest with the provider. So what we’re talking about is on parity. That’s the best word I can say.”
In other words, I'm smarter than both you and the market and you dumb folks who use the Internet need Big Brother to protect you...I need to "level the playing field" for you, stupid.
The following sounds like she was a lobbiest:
Ms. Clyburn served as the chair of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners’ (NARUC) Washington Action Committee and as a member of both the association’s Audit Committee and Utilities Market Access Partnership Board. Commissioner Clyburn is also a former chair of the Southeastern Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (SEARUC). Commissioner Clyburn was elected to the South Carolina PSC following 14 years as the publisher and general manager of The Coastal Times, a Charleston-based weekly newspaper that focused primarily on issues affecting the African American community.
Of all the people in the US who have experience regulating the HF and above frequency spectrum, this is the best he could find, or was the choice based on some other agenda?

NO, in fact H*LL NO.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The Hussein Gestapo strikes again???
The following is my son’s take on this:
This is a good thing. There are two other sides here and
actually the FCC is the one saving your neck.
1. The government wants an internet kill switch. Not the
FCC. I’d rather have the communications people watching over
this than giving direct access to whatever liberal government
is in place.
2. This mostly looks like net neutrality coming up again.
The telco’s have been trying for years to throttle internet
access depending on your “status.” For example, if you are
big company that sells cogs you would pay more to have your
website go faster than a little company that pays cogs. Or
even more likely, you will have to pay “entry level” internet
access fees to get the internet but it would be “a-la’carte”
much like the crappy way cable companies have made cable very
complicated and expensive. The FCC has been fighting these guys
for years. Net neutrality means “all the internet all the time”.
It doesn’t matter what you pay or how controversial your message.
The internet stays open for business to anyone with something to
say. Because this is a government agency fighting a lobbying group
you hear these “fcc wants to regulate” messages but it clouds the truth.
They’re the ones trying to keep the playing field flat. I don’t
want the goverment regulating in the sense that they censor what
I can get. But I DO want them doing their true job as the government
telling everyone ELSE not to screw me and censor what I can get.
What the hell is an internet on and off ramp?
