F.C.C., In Net Neutrality Turnaround, Plans To Allow Fast Lane
Dega704 (1454673) writes in with news of the latest FCC plan which seems to put another dagger in the heart of net neutrality. "The Federal Communications Commission will propose new rules that allow Internet service providers to offer a faster lane through which to send video and other content to consumers, as long as a content company is willing to pay for it, according to people briefed on the proposals. The proposed rules are a complete turnaround for the F.C.C. on the subject of so-called net neutrality, the principle that Internet users should have equal ability to see any content they choose, and that no content providers should be discriminated against in providing their offerings to consumers."
The rich get more privileges. Nothing to see here my fellow Americans. We love this shit. Fast lanes for the job creators. After all, we wouldn't have all of these jobs if we started impeding them. /s
Look where all this talking got us, baby.
I lost it at the @aol.com email address...
Not an Obamapologist here, but do you honestly think Romney would have been different?
At least write in Kodos.
I voted Gary Johnson. My vote helped him carry zero states. I really can't blame people for voting strategically.
W..w..W - Willy Waterloo washes Warren Wiggins who is washing Waldo Woo.
He would have certainly been worse in some ways, but he could not have pulled off crap like this without outcry.
That's why every president's biggest policies are stuff the other party wants but can't get away with.
EPA? Republican.
NAFTA? Democrat.
Medicare prescription drug benefit? Republican.
Romneycare? Democrat.
Financial deregulation? Well, everybody. You got me there,
It's a good thing we got the FCC involved in all this rule making about the internet. Just think where we'd be if it wasn't for the FCC enforcing net neutrality all these years....
The party of stupid and the party of evil get together and do something both stupid and evil, then call it bipartisan.
Do I vote for the Democrat that is going to blast me in the ass or the Republican that is blasting my ass?
I see... you think "smart" means bringing a knife to a gun fight. Good for you.
Bring a knife to a gun fight... ...stab them while they're laughing.
