Aye - there's the rub. Anyone who thinks that any agency in this lawless administration will exercise restraint is sorely deluded. Big win for the tyrant.
Dear FCC:
GFY!
Button down those firewalls! This is going to get messy.
Ditto, megadittos.
I’m sure it will cost us more money. It always does.
Now the botnets will be able DDOS entire backbones.
The government has never exercised “restraint” in implementing and enforcing rules. They just heap more rules on top of rules. Good luck go us all.
Aren’t there two previous court cases that said the FCC does not have the legal authority to regulate the Internet? I also seem to recall a specific Congressional prohibition for the FCC to regulate the Internet. I guess this is what fascism looks like.
When you have a nearly unlimited supply of lawyers, you will get a nearly unlimited amount of regulation.
“which means users, hackers, tinkerers, artists, and knowledge seekers can continue to innovate and experiment on the Internet, using any app or service they please, without having to get their ISP’s permission first.”
Is this an issue for residential customers? I use business class service since I telework so much and with that, I’ve never encountered any problems from the isp.
Omg. The authors are complete dumbasses
THe FCC is part of the administration, and they don’t like those laws, so they won’t be enforced.
All those little fees that get attached to your phone bill will start to appear on the bills from your ISP.
“And a vague rule gives the FCC an awful lot of discretion, potentially giving an unfair advantage to parties with insider influence. That means our work is not yet done. We must stay vigilant, and call out FCC overreach.”
You over educated idiots. Your work is not yet done? You just piled on top of your heads a heck of a lot more work because of your support for net neutrality. Staying vigilant and calling out FCC overreach will do little to nothing about the new tyranny you have supported. Much like obamacare supporters who learned the hard way that they supported garbage legislation, I imagine it will take a ton of bricks to fall on your heads too before you buy a clue.
Oh cool no firewall rule no QOS... its the internet.. with no speed limit, stop signs, or traffic lights or even cops at the intersections..... gonna be hell of a death toll interspersed with massive traffic jams from hell....
Its IP networking by numbskulls
The court that struck down previous net neutrality rules did so because the FCC previously classified broadband under Title I of the Telecommunications Act of 1934, but tried to apply common carrier rules that fall under Title II. The Court said that the FCC could not do so because the FCC had chosen not to classify broadband under Title II. In today’s vote, the FCC essentially revisited the previous decision to classify under Title I, changed its mind, and reclassfied under Title II.

The size 20 foot of the Gummint is once again in the door.
As a residential customer, I’ve never come across any such thing.
