The FCC should turn the internet into a utility so they can regulate it? How the hell do they have jurisdiction as it is???

” Even if broadband is reclassified as a telecommunications service, no one is talking about having federal regulators approve consumer rates or requiring companies to lease their networks to competitors.”

We heard similarly constructed arguments for 0bamacare.

No one should ever heed Obama’s advice. If it must be done, wait until his term is over. We all know this president will lie, cheat, do whatever it takes to further his agenda.

The NY times thinks asking Paulie to be a partner in your restaurant is a good idea.

As with all Government “solutions”, the cure is worse than the disease.

Now, it’s time to identify the name and video recordings of the elitist professor “Grubers” who’ve devised the argument to “fool” the “stupid” Americans on this one! Somewhere, they exist among the so-called “intellectual” advisers handpicked to disguise “up” as “down” and “backward” as “forward” in the “progressive” lexicon.

Hands off my internet Obamao. The internet pipe shouldn’t be treated like a water pipe where some jackboot can turn my water on and off at will. Nor should it be that the government can tell me what I can and cannot access online and at what speed.

When we elect a Republican President, I think the New York Times should be regulated.

The gvt can’t stand that the Internet has survived for years without help from “government regulation.” It frustrates them to no end that the Internet is a world-wide success without their help. It’s just killing them.

Allow me to add just one word to this quote from the article: Even if broadband is reclassified as a telecommunications service, no one is talking about having federal regulators approve consumer rates or requiring companies to lease their networks to competitors. YET!!

Once the bureaucrats get their greedy little hand on the Internet, it is finished.

Look at you cell phone bill...about 30% taxes and fees...the consequence of government regulation to “protect” consumers.

LOL!

The increasingly irrelevant NYT would like some help silencing the competition and opposing voices.

The rise of the Internet decimated the print media. Why would anyone think the Times has the nets best interests at heart?

Just to throw some basic free market economics at the problem. Generally speaking you cannot correct the mistakes of a market with regulation, which end of being some form of more or less complex wage and price controls, or outright rationing.

If a market is not functions efficiently history shows that the cause is almost always due to previous regulation, or there is incomplete information needed to make a purchasing decision. Two wrongs don’t make a right you can’t fix these problems with more regulation.

Ronald Reagan said government is not the solution.
