Mark Cuban Terrified Of What The FCC Could Do
Western Journalism ^ | February 19, 2015 | James Beattie

One of the most vocal owners in professional sports did not mince words when asked for his thoughts of the debate over net neutrality at a conference Wednesday. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to vote on the reforms later this month.

“That will f**k everything up,” said Mark Cuban at the Code/Media conference in Laguna Niguel, Calif, Re/Code reported. Cuban is the owner of the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Dallas Mavericks and co-host of ABC’s Shark Tank.

Later this month, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will vote on a proposal by the group’s chairman, Tom Wheeler, that will reclassify the Internet as a Title II telecommunications service based on the Telecommunications Act of 1934–like a public utility.

“Net neutrality is just a demonization of big companies,” Cuban added.

The voracious entrepreneur also expressed concern that the body voting on the proposal is politically appointed and that in six years, “we won’t know who Tom Wheeler is.”

he supported, contributed, repped, advocated, and voted twice for what he got, and Marko needs to shut up or take it all back and do it over. What pathetic scum. Whose fault; Bush?

I can’r wait to hear the screams of anguish from all the millenials who got played into supporting this just like they did 0bamacare. Suckers, played by a meme! Fitting, the internet generation hoaxed, conned, fooled and duped while continously having their cellphones, also known as the information superhighway in their faces all day long. I, for one, will never let them live that down... And they need to be reminded of that at tax time, when all those 0bamacare bombs go off in their faces!

It’s just an extension of Obama’s plan to fundamentally change America as we knew it.

Because I refuse to believe that every member of the Football team voted for Obama and not only that I am not particularly sure that Cuban himself voted for Obama......Very few billionaires did vote for Obama and I just find it hard to believe that Cuban did. You don’t have to provide a link but I would like your take on why you believe that they all did.
