every little bit helps and this is good news. They should gut everything Obama implemented and touched.
Is a main concern that the Obama reg made broadband a public utility under Title II of the Communications Act? It would seem to me that net neutrality was all about putting internet delivery in the realm of highly regulate public utilities to give the government more tools to control it. As the article says, this repeal put it back where it was under Title I as an information service which is considered a light touch from a regulatory stand point.
Doesn’t matter anyhow.
The major ISP’s already throttle bandwith to certain IP addresses.
Google.
Amazon.
Spectrum.
Comcast.
Pick one. All of them do it. They can, because they built and own the infrastructure that your internet runs on.
These are not public utilities. If they want to censor you and your website, for any reason, or no reason at all, they can, and will.
Net neutrality is a socialist view of the net. It is a utility defined as X that costs the same for everyone.
Revoking net neutrality restores a capitalist view of the net, where different tiers of experience exist at different costs.
Internet providers, aka the folks who built the internet, have no incentive to make the internet faster with new technologies with net neutrality rules. Hence, like many places elsewhere on earth, we’ll eventually become uncapacitized for our needs. We’ll have the net equivilent of brown outs. With the rules lifted, you’ll see immediate new investment, faster speeds, and yes fast lane pricing that pays for that investment.
Net Neutrality made the net not neutral. Affordable Healthcare Act made Healthcare unaffordable. Tolerance Policies are intolerant. That is what a corrupt government produces. Corrupt regulations.
Regarding the FCCs decision, note that the Founding States made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested only in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected bureaucrats running constitutionally undefined federal agencies like the EPA and FCC.
So not only are deep state federal lawmakers protecting their voting records by unconstitutionally front-ending legislative powers with non-elected bureaucrats, but the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to Congress the specific power to do what the FCC is doing imo.
10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
Are we having fun yet?
Corrections, insights welcome.
Patriots now need to be making sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots, and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to D.C. on election day.
And until the ill-conceived 17A is repealed, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud and associated MSM scare tactics.
..... over the objection of Democrats in Congress

Those 7 words alone tell me this is probably a good thing .... plus, it’s one more Obama era item done away with by Trump. :-)
The simplest thing to do is just see who cries the most. You’ll almost always see it’s the usual suspects. Either that or the Netflix’s and Amazon’s who want something for nothing.
Anything Obama did that is undone is a good thing.
Good strike against socialism.
I agree. We need to go back to the pre-Obama rules. Keep the government out of it.
Outstanding!!!
Go President Trump!!!
I’ve been reading and hearing that ‘net neutrality’ will cause internet companies to raise prices, lower speeds, and drastically restrict what people have access to, akin to having social media blocked at an office. The internet companies would also partition access to social media and entertainment websites much like cable companies do with their packages.
Just what *is* net neutrality? Can someone on here break it down for the legalese illiterate?
I saw a good article on this the other day, all this really does is transfer the oversight back to the Federal Trade Commission. So there is still someone looking at it.

DemocRats’ MO is to invent a “problem” where none really exists, offer a “solution” that involves massive, unconstitutional government control, and then when it starts causing real problems, propose more government control and raise taxes.
I don’t know where this is going to lead, but I would absolutely hate for it to create a cable TV package model for the internet.
Repealing NN is a good thing. Frankly, I can’t remember all the arguments in favor of repeal, but I remember at the time, reading about them, and being glad the new FCC group was going to have republicans in charge, who wanted it repealed. Besides, anything O’Bomboy was in favor of, I’M AGAINST!
It really gets down to. Who do I trust more Government or business. ....I’ll go with Capitalism.
Liberalism destroys everything it touches........everything. That would have included the internet if this “thing” was allowed to go.
Liberalism is the BORG of this century and should be treated as such....they’re insane.
