If you like your internet, you will be able to keep your internet. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.

The federal government can’t wait to control the internet by issuing licenses for web sites, deciding what is necessary for “the common good,” and getting to tax access to the net. If you like your foot-long phone bill, you’ll love “net neutrality.” And the wet-dream of the Left to reinstate their beloved “fairness doctrine,” will be in full sway on the net. Oppressive governments (China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia etc. etc.) can’t stand the free flow of ideas.
What ever happened to all of those so-called conservatives on FR that were such big advocates for this crap?
This is your day to shine! Come on out!
My God, this reads like it’s so amazing and everything’s going to be fair and wonderful. It’s no wonder half the country is living in blissful ignorance!
This is the Comcast protection scam.
Comcast TV faces competition from Netflix and similar others, so Comcast ISP calls on their government pals to regulate away Netflix’s ability to purchase sufficient network access.
The government is all to willing to oblige. They have their own agenda.
Why would I object to not allowing companies that can pay more having web preference?
"U.S. regulators are poised to impose the toughest rules yet on Internet service providers, aiming to ensure fair treatment of all web traffic through their networks."
Guess somebody just TOLD them that's what was in the regs, eh?
Utility regulations control usage, pricing, taxation, etc.
Making internet a utility places it under their control. They will be able to claim that the “critical information needs” of this or that "community" is not being served "properly", that this or that website is "biased", that an ISP must provide "balance" in the websites made available over their network. etc. We know their intentions.
Sickening. Can’t believe how fast we’ve lost this country after the blood, sweat and tears shed to create it, secure it, and grow it up. The lights are going out. Freedom is the casualty. I could just cry.
The telecom providers got a little too cute in their efforts to squeeze out a few more pennies, and they generated a populist backlash.
Obama picked up on that and quickly jumped on to ride the wave.
Get used to it. I believe that is what our politics are going to look like for the foreseeable future.
Obama will speech at you and All will Rejoice \o/
Ping.
(Reuters) - U.S. regulators are poised to impose the toughest rules yet on Internet service providers, aiming to ensure fair treatment of all web traffic through their networks.

What this says to me is: Comments against bambaboy, and the government will no longer be allowed; we won’t have a “Rush Limbaugh” web page; we won’t be able to go to the internet and read what “Fox News Network” has to say about what is happening in government; but you bet your last dollar that CNN; and all the other media outlets will be able to spread bambaboy’s garbage all over the internet!!!
This really isn’t such a big leap. Already, there is very little on TV, radio or the net that isn’t geared to push the Liberal agenda. I’m so sick of having it pushed down my throat I could scream! Then I look at my grandchildren’s textbooks and schoolwork and want to throw up! Net neutrality will just be a little mopping up scheme to make sure that sites like FR don’t mistreat the poor little Commie swisher trolls by banning them or saying unkind things about them that may damage their fragile psyches. In other words, insanity will rule and any remnant of free expression that may have survived in isolated pockets will be silenced. Welcome to Obama’s “transformed” America.
Liberals have been able to tie up regs don’t like for years in the court, why can’t it the same with this?
My cable bill goes up about 10% a year. Now it will get even worse.
And here I thought Congress was the legislative branch of government and the FCC was for oversight.
Silly me.
So 5 unelected political appointee bureaucrats get to decide for a country of 300 million.
Is that how republics work?
Fake crisis, fake solution.
4M phone calls. What a pantload.
Probably the same 4M calls that said we need Amnesty.
The only people I know who complain about the Internet is that its NOT fast enough.
Dump DSL and problem is fixed
