Court Ruling Points Way To Broadband Regulation
DarkHelmet writes "An article on CNET News indicates: 'A U.S. appeals court has rejected the Federal Communications Commission's request to rehear a case, in a move that could prompt local governments to regulate the cable industry.' The piece explains: 'The rejection could pave the way for municipalities to force cable companies to share their broadband Internet lines with third parties.' I personally can't wait for companies like Speakeasy to branch into the Cable Internet market and provide 10-100mbps service."
Grow up, believe it or not the government isn't out to get you.
Yeah, whatever you say Ashcroft.
this article gave me a dirty sanchez!
We dont want to see our politicians blindly pointing fingers and playing the blame game. It just isn't good politics.
Which makes me wonder, what are we doing right NOW to prevent an attack that could come TOMORROW? Seems like we are obsessed with what happened in the past instead of taking care of the future.
Considering that Dubya has had riot police shoot at anti-war protestors before (during a PEACEFUL demonstration), I don't think anything about censoring anti-war media comes even close to 'FUD'.

I think he is just stupid and thinks fast ethernet runs over cable lines.

I dropped them like a hot potato a couple of years back once broadband came to my area. Their support absolutely sucked then, and I hear it's not much better now.
I'll use the "road's" bandwidth and set up my own toll booths & just pay th' gubernment a cut. Down with these toll booth monopolies!
