FCC May Tweak Broadband Plan
adeelarshad82 writes "Despite a recent ruling that said the FCC did not have the right to interfere in Comcast's network management issues, the agency is pushing ahead with its national broadband plan, though there might be some tweaks. Since the case was won on the fact that the FCC based its decision on its Internet Policy Principles, a set of guidelines the agency developed internally several years ago regarding broadband Internet service and not actual rules that went through a formal, open rulemaking process, they are invalid, as is the enforcement action. FCC general counsel Austin Schlick acknowledged that the court's decision may affect a significant number of important plan recommendations. The commission is assessing the implications of the decision for each recommendation to ensure that it has adequate authority to execute the mission laid out in the plan."
Nice way to turn a decent post into a troll. If only I had mod points. Signatures that condone murder are nice and classy.
Mod points are not meant to be used to Damage users. If you disagree with the signature about Booth killing a leader, then say so. Do NOT damage his karma. That makes you no better than someone who stabs a person with a knife, just because he didn't like the stabbee's comment.

Mod points are not to be used to attack other slashdotters. That is not their purpose. Read the FAQ: "Simply disagreeing with a comment is not a valid reason to mark it down. Likewise, agreeing with a comment is not a valid reason to mark it up. The goal here is to share ideas. To sift through the haystack and find needles."

"Booth was a patriot" isn't condoning murder, genius, it's illustrating that blind patriotism is not a virtue in and of itself.
If a job's not worth doing, it's not worth doing right.
>>>our federal government decided that keeping our national currency...might be slightly more important than getting our national internet structure slightly faster

Sounds good but:
The federal government is actually destroying US currency. When the Fed bailed-out banks like Bank of America and Chase, they didn't handover actual money. They simply added 9 zeroes to the Bank's account. In other words the Federal Bank Monopoly created money out of thin air.
Problem: Doing that devalues all the other dollars. Where $1 might have bought a half-gallon of milk, in 2-3 years it will require $1.50 because the currency was devalued by the Fed. By the end of the decade you'll need 2 dollars because the currency will be worth half as much, thanks to the Fed's devaluation of the paper (adding zeroes to accounts).
