Control.

It is all about ....

[Lazamataz]

How about “No.” How about “FUBO”. Seriously. Just tell this f*******, NO.

[Red Badger]

Okay, so I can invest in Tax Free utility stocks?..................

[TexasCajun]

Makes this statement while in China?

[DJ Frisat]

'...internet service providers should not be allowed to control, or "pick winners and losers"'

'Course not -- that's the job of the GOVERNMENT, isn't it, fellow 'losers'?

[MeshugeMikey]

Obie must be put on a shorter leash!!!

The election is less than a week behind, and the dems have got to be on his case, whether he cares or not, which he doesn’t, other than narcissistically.

And this is what they come up with.

They’re going to get a lock on, what, young people?

They already are tuning in to the $20000,000,000.00 debt we’re putting on them.

The dems hope to fool them by getting rid of their news source?

Conservative pols are campaigning this way.

There is no Harry Ried nor John McCain campaign on social media.

This is going to fix that?

Hmmm Ok

If I want a natural gas line, one company probably provides the infrastructure, even if there are multiple vendors for service. Ditto electricity.

For Internet service, there is dial-up, DSL, cable, local wireless dish, satellite dish, cell-based. It is no longer a natural monopoly like a true utility is.

[jiggyboy]

“...the same obligations...”

All together now:
- free for the po folk
- paid for by new taxes on everybody else
- lots more regulation
- crony capitalism for the biggest providers
- tougher for a small company to get a toehold
- affirmative action government contracts

Etc.

Obama KNOWS he is NOW toast.

[eyeamok]

And if we Truly had a Speaker of the House in Congress and a Senate Majority Leader that actually gave a Rats Ass about We The People, they would Announce this morning plans to immediately DE-FUND the FCC.

If he’s seriously going to try this, we need to melt phone lines. He will absolutely shut down the Internet if he can find a way.

[Ray76]

The unquenchable thirst for power and control

[Iron Munro]

Liberals fear real free speech almost as much as they fear the Second Amendment.

[Personal Responsibility]

As a general rule, if Obama’s for it we should be against it.

With a small understanding of what’s being discussed here, I think it’s a pretty bad idea. Why shouldn’t Netflix or some other company be able to pay more for more bandwidth?

[TexasFreeper2009]

good grief! get this lunatic out of office before he destroys everything!

[CivilWarBrewing]

If the phone is a utility, then so is the Internet.

[Cheerio]

Mr I have a phone and a pen!!!!!! Watch the continued destruction of not only our economy during the next two years, but then entire nation.

Obama is determined to not only hear but to represent the 2/3 of Americans that did NOT vote last Tuesday.

[Leaning Right]

Here's the bottom line. Utilities can be regulated. More power for the central government!

Of course, this should not be a concern for the average American. Because if you like your Internet, you can keep your Internet. Period.
