Democrats Pan Google-Verizon Net Neutrality Proposal

GovTechGuy writes "Four House Democrats wrote to the Federal Communications Commission, urging them to write strict net neutrality rules and reject the framework put forward by Google and Verizon. The lawmakers, including Rep. Anna Eshoo, who represents the district containing Google HQ, said the Google-Verizon proposal increases the pressure on the FCC to come up with actual net neutrality rules, and characterize the deal as harmful to consumers and beneficial for the corporations. In particular, the letter took issue with two pieces of the Verizon-Google proposal: exemptions for managed services and wireless services from strict net-neutrality rules."

You're trying to explain quite simple things to someone who can't understand that "government" in the US means "the people"

To take that further, those who want to shrink "government" are really interested in reducing the power of democracy to redress the needs and grievances of the people by taking away their ability to do so. Of course, always in favor of the moneyed elite.

There is a disturbing movement in the USA that reminds me of the Royalists; willing serfs who are terrified of self-determination. That would be right-wingers and Libertarians.
