Welp, normally the FCC represents all that I find wrong, but the company did want the spectrum for free, which honestly does seem to be a tad unfair.

Free wireless broadband without some kind of porn filters? No thanks. Giving pornographers even more unfettered access to our children is a horrible idea.

Early on, the plan ran afoul of puritanical concerns about how it could be used for viewing pornography--but the FCC's intention to filter porn ran into opposition with civil liberties groups.

There they go again. Cherchez l'ACLU.

So let me understand, our employees at the FCC have kept secret from us why a good thing for us is bad?

Pink slips for all, and let's see what the next crop of FCC employees can do for us.
