Overhauled Telecommunications Law Draft

Posted by Zonk on from the participate-in-your-legislation dept.

pin_gween writes "ZDNet.com has published info on proposed changes to the telecommunications laws. The U.S. House of Representatives Energy and Commerce committee released a 77-page staff working draft (PDF alert) and is now calling for comments from interested parties. Highlights include: 'The draft defines, for regulatory purposes, broadband Internet transmission services--or BITS--as "a packet-switched service that is offered to the public," regardless of the equipment or protocol used. That puts DSL and cable providers on equal footing... A federal framework for regulating BITS, VoIP and broadband video services...BITS, VoIP and broadband video services must not block their subscribers' access to any content or applications and must allow their subscribers to connect to their services with whichever devices they choose...Recourse for VoIP providers: They're expected to negotiate their own rates with telecommunications companies for use of their wires'"

  1. It's time to stamp out Islam once and for all by The_Fire_Horse · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    As you all know, Mohamed was a pedophile.
    'One' of his wives was 9 years old when he consummated the marriage. What a fucking cheese dick - even though young marriages were not uncommon in 'those days', it is a fucking joke that some highly and blindly followed religious head is worshipped for his insightful thinking.

    Come on - let's face facts. Mohamed was a FUCKING PEDOPHILE and it is documented.

    And now all of a sudden these moronic mulsims are saying porn is bad, praise Allah, blow up shit and then in the afterlife I will get 72 virginal girls (and 'comely boys' - bet you didn't know that!) if I do alluhs work.

    And these people wonder why the rest of the world thinks that muslims are a bunch of mindless faggots? They are happy to rape 9 year old girls but they wont allow their own wives to show their face?
    They are happy to blow up children in the name of Allah even though the Koran says 'don't kill'
    They are happy to condemn others religions, but they KILL PEOPLE who even question their fucked up religion.

    Seriously - the muslim religion is a joke, and it should be eradicated.
