More and more people are connecting to the Internet through fewer and fewer ISPs because of DSL and cable. So the head of the FCC calls up AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner and a few others and suddenly 80-90% of the US is cut off. This isn’t about protecting the infrastructure... it’s about limiting communications among the people. Just like the first place a new dictator would grab used to be the radio and TV stations, this is formulating a way to grab whatever they can of the Internet. Will there still be some people with ways to get on the Internet? Yes, but just as taking over the radio and TV stations don’t shut down the last few people with shortwave transmitters it will still keep most people from getting the news.
Excellent point, Thanks for the insight !
Why do I feel like a Cockroach or a Tall Tree at this point.

Like this Healthcare debate has a “black swan” (rare event) moment where people were able to BYPASS THE MSM.
No matter how tingly chris mathews, or how many gooball lies repeated on CNN people were able to bypass the state run media.
The politicians have freaked out.
They don’t ACTUALLY WANT TO TALK to the real voters.
Exactly!....Time to find an alternative to comcast.....and get some HAM radios
