FCC Backs a Tiered Internet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-money dept.

Going to be extorted writes ""FCC Chief Kevin Martin yesterday gave his support to AT&T and other telcos who want to be able to limit bandwidth to sites like Google, unless those sites pay extortion fees. Martin made it clear in a speech yesterday that he supports such a a "tiered" Internet." Could this be the end of internet innovation?"

    Why? Oh why are they doing this? They're just a bunch of old crackers who've just barely had touch-tone phones installed in their offices! Why do they take it upon themselves to regulate technologies that they are not only unfamiliar with, but completely ignorant of! I'm sick of my communications being regulated by people who have actually used Morse Code.
