FCC Boss Backs Metering the Internet
An anonymous reader writes "FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has publicly backed usage-based pricing for wired internet access at the cable industry's annual NCTA Show. He makes the claim that it would drive network efficiency. Currently most internet service providers charge a flat fee and price their packages based on the speed of the service, while wireless providers are reaping record profits by charging based on usage, similar to the way utilities charge for electricity. By switching to this model, the cable companies can increase their profitibility while at the same time blocking consumers from cutting the cord and getting their TV services online."
God, you must be one of those Teabag cultists. Everything is Obama's fault. Don't forget your fuckin' kool-aid!
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel / the next it's rolling over me / I can get back on / I can get back on
My, how far the fcc has strayed from its (now awol) original mission statement. The next argument should involve De-funding and De-activating the fcc. The fuck-tarded communication commission need to get back to regulating power and frequency, and get their fascist punk ass's away from the web where they never had any business sticking their mission creep noses in the first place. Commercial interest in the Public spectrum is 97%, with 3% military freqs, that leaves public access tv the only public interest out of the spectrum the rest is Corporate Owned. Sounds like someone has been metering the FCC's AIR supply.
But like half the fucking /.'ers were brainwashed about net neutrality, and willingly invited the FCC to "save the day." Now the fascism has come back home to roost up your constipated turd holes.
All I can say is you stupid motherfuckers wake up.
Next stop? Fuck the ISP, Fuck Web hosting, Fuck Domain names, Fuck being spied, Fuck storing two year ISP logs, and Fuck owning a mobile phone.
Fuck all communication basically. Then we can all sing Coom by ya to the corporate owned news. Coom by ya I love the police state, Coom by ya, I love deep packet inspection, Coom by ya, I love being targeted by the government I served as a domestic terrorist, Coom by ya I love fema camps, Coom by ya I Love un-declared wars, coom by ya I love the throwing out of the Constitution, due process, habius corpus, bill of rights, gun ownership, the gays, the agenda 21 eco fascists.. Coom by ya, Coom by ya, Coom by ya bitchez
Yeah it's going to be a bright future now. Or was that just another nuclear attack?
Every day you hear me bitch on slashdot, ever wonder the fuck why?
Maybe one day you see I am missing from my daily bitching, that day will be the day the laws went too far. It's doesn't mean I went to full bug out mode, but as far as communications it will be. Really this june 12 thing was going to be it, I was going to shut down the router, stop paying ISP - On Jan 1st, I killed off my domains, webhosting, 5 years of producing music videos. Poof. Fuck everybody only this little isp connection is left. Judging by the crap I'm hearing, I'll be dropping this soon as well. You may sit there and say, "who cares?" A lot of people did.
Now I am going to leave you with a little secret.
Restore the US Constitution, or things will get much much worse--like nazi Germany v 2.0 worse.
Wake up, I'm sorry for calling you bitchez and motherfuckers, just wake up already
"mr rich guy himself" himself is ALREADY THE PRESIDENT.
Where has the country gone under Obama's policies? Lower taxes for the rich, higher unemployment for the masses. Insane high inflation (I know- it's really low if you ignore the prices of food and energy.. hah). Wall street bankers and insurance company execs getting fat off record bonuses paid for by "stimulus" grants their companies have recieved from the government.
If it wasn't for the liberal republicans putting up lousy liberals like Mccain and Romney we wouldn't be stuck with self-proclaimed Marxists like Obama.
