The FCC passed the internet regulating net neutrality rules on Thursday and questions abound. But there are some things we do know, and heres a summary:
In the midst of all the clamor, hoopla, and discussions, there were two entertaining things that occurred this week related to the controversy.
Firstly, a poster mocking FCC head Tom Wheeler appeared all over Washington D.C. The poster reads Boot Licker, making reference to how Wheelers followed the administrations heavy-handed lead on the regulation.
It says Obamas B*tch in the background. They were put up near Wheelers Georgtown home, around the Mall, and in front of the FCCs downtown headquarters.
Secondly, in response to the vote, Verizon published its own castigation of the new regulations, saying it was a throwback to 1930s-style archaic regulation. And they did it in Morse code (with a link to printed English):
Die bootlicker!!!
this is going to turn about to be a well attended “play”
It’s gonna suck.
If there isn’t anything insidious in the new regulations, why would they be hiding them from scrutiny
Welcome to your daily government colonoscopy...oh wait they already provide that service on a regular basis.
Christian and conservative websites will be shut down when the feral government controls the Internet.
What’s with these fools out there that don’t understand that the Internet is a -—shared-— media
So now the giant bandwidth hogs content provider have an Internet “all you can eat” bandwidth buffet they can clean out at will ..and make money for doing it..
Leaving the average end user nothing but bandwidth table scraps ...brilliant....
The truth is that there is enough black line lying idle in ground (fiber optic) that speed or favoritism is moot...search engines post those who pay first...this is pure tyranny ...our web works just fine these bastards and bitches just want to tax it now...tax...tax... tax...the scary part I have heard is that the same body will be the court for any disputes...that is bad,very bad. From what I understand this will be challenged and not implemented for at least 2-5 years...but that is all hearsay...I hate this Kenyan and the American liberals that see nothing wrong with this action...boggles the mind.
Correct.
basic economics...
unlimited consumption for zero extra cost of a finite commodity...
Internet bandwidth...
Means it pays to be the biggest most gluttonous pig of that commodity
Especially if you’re making money by consuming
The biggest pig gets gets it all
Will George Soros use the take over to pick the next President ,Ah Barry Soetoro ?
Soros and Obama have ruined so many things that I’ve gone almost completely independent. Over last eight years, no social media, no more cable, no more health insurance, far more conservative and way less GOP, more camping and hiking, and now I’ll probably unplug the internet too!
The backbone is where they get you. Can’t have internet without the big servers and routers. You can do a local short haul version of the net. Something for CW2.
Great poster and I do hope Mr. Boot licker was able to see it.
I recently read about local Cubans making neighborhood networks. It was something else.
