Telecom Plan To Take Over the Internet Isn't Real

wiredog writes "The Telcos' Secret Anti-Net Neutrality Strategy is actually a student project. The 'No Net Brutality' campaign idea was one of the four finalists created as an assignment for a two-and-a-half week 'think tank MBA' program. The other finalists were a project promoting free speech in Venezuela, one supporting education reform in Poland, and one dealing with sales tax rates in Washington, DC. ('No Net Brutality' came in third. The Polish reform idea won.)"

    nothing to be embarrassed about. actual corporate propaganda against net neutrality is even more divorced from reality.

    Is "reactionary" one of those words that leftists use to mean "someone I don't agree with"? I saw someone else use it recently, also to describe libertarians. Of course, the other person also confused libertarianism, Objectivism, classical liberalism, and modern social conservatism, and later called Rush Limbaugh of all people an "anarcho-capitalist nihilist", so I mostly assume he was just a moron, and I put "reactionary" in the pile of words morons use.

    Though really, it looks like you're not the sharpest spoon in the drawer either, so maybe I can continue with that assumption.
