Just a link to the document, and a pic of the title page. It's got buzzwords in the index which gives me no confidence in the FCC writer's competency. BYOBB.
BYOBB is bring your own broadband.
Also barf bag. ;)
I’ll wait until someone translates it to English.
Odd, the index of the “400 page plan” has items beginning on p. 583.
All of that page of legalese to supposedly say that an ISP has to treat all data “equally”?
Cant wait for all of the dopes that supported this to start seeing all of the surprises Obama has for them.
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech...
I started reading it but it is quite tedious. Pai has his summary policy and legal docs released today - also at fcc.gov. I guess I didn’t read far enough to see the part he mentions that frightened me “for the first time FCC will regulate the rates that ISPs may charge and will set a rate of zero for certain commercial agreements”. What?
I don’t think Congress voiced any approval of this document which was put forth by his royal majesty’s henchmen.
EFF claims that there are only 8 pages of actual regs in the document (this was posted yesterday, before the release). So, is the meat just 8 pages?
“Early reports pegged the new order at 300 pages, but we now know that only 8 pages are actual regulatory text. The source of confusion—which even got us in the past few weeks—is that the whole order is over 300 pages, but consists almost entirely of the record of factual findings by the FCC and responses to comments they received. Opponents of net neutrality have boosted the “300 page” number to suggest onerous complexity, but that’s not the case.”

Bring Your Own Barf Bag.......................
I don’t know. EFF was all for this legislation, that to me in itself is suspicious. I find it hard to trust anyone in their position, but as of now, we’ll have to see how it shakes out...
I should have added, even if that’s the case, any US regulatory body can easily inflate 8 pages to 800 over a brief period of time.
If you like your Internet, you can keep your Internet.....................
I want to know which side the ACLU is on.
This could get interestingly funny.............

Well written article on the release.
I dunno, legalese gives me an eyeball headache. It’ll get deciphered—eventually. i would like to know why it took the FCC so long to spit this out, though.
