WASHINGTON — Last April, a dozen New York-based Internet companies gathered in the Flatiron Building boardroom of the social media website Tumblr to hear dire warnings that broadband providers were about to get the right to charge for the fastest speeds on the web.
The implication: If they didn’t pay up, they would be stuck in the slow lane.
What followed has been the longest, most sustained campaign of Internet activism in history, one that the little guys appear to have won. On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission is expected to vote to regulate the Internet as a public good. On Tuesday, Senator John Thune, Republican of South Dakota and chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, all but surrendered on efforts to overturn the coming ruling, conceding Democrats are lining up with President Obama in favor of the F.C.C.

ANY AND EVERY PERSON WHO VOTES FOR A REPUBLICAN IS NOT ONLY STUPID, THEY BORDER ON TREASONOUS ACTIVITY.
I used to be one of them.
No Pelosi Congress in 2009 and there would be no Obamacare.
meanwhile they let Keystone get vetoed... start stocking up on truth because we are going to be rationed.
the only reason for charges and speculation on shortages through the black market is because of big government rationing truth.
“Thune has been a complete disappointment.”
You got that right.
“Immigration, net neutrality and keystone dead. Man this guy doesn’t skip a beat. He’s turned the Presidency into a dictatorship. Payback is hell. “
Its what happens when the opposition party lays down every chance it gets.
If there is one thing to learn here its that Obama has effectively made Congress irrelevant.
Free train rides to a happy work place will begin soon, please be patient as demand is high for these luxury train rides.
Reagan was a Californian Governor. Lincoln was born in KY and O’Basrerd; Kenya.
Amerika is wonderful. We have the best government money can buy.
2016 will not fix anything. The solution requires guts and determination that most people lack in this age. I say that because this never would of happened in 1798.
I prefer to call it a year of reckoning. Haven't heard much from the Romneybots or Bushbots around here lately.
The “little guy” canard is the Dems calling card. They’re the party of the entrenched powers.
Has anybody called Thune’s office or are we just going along with this?
Yes, we do love to vote for the people who will betray us. Vote for the “R” candidate...he’s better than the “D”!
No he is not. He is worse than the “D.”
When we ponder how liberal consistently vote against the nation’s interests...we might do just the very same thing regarding those stout party Republican loyalists.
Do I want another 4 years of liberal BS, no. No one really does, even the liberals. But what is worse is I do not want to be betrayed either. And yes, betrayal is worse than dealing with an in your face liberal.
>>please be patient as demand is high for these luxury train rides.
But don’t ask the “conservative {uhhh} but progressive” train-worshipers who’s going to pay for their infrastructure — that’s not allowed.
this whole federal gubmint needs being scrapped and started over.
Worthless bunch the whole lot.
Adam Jorde is the tech liaison for Sen. Thune.
