Net Neutrality Is Trump's Next Target, Administration Says (fiercetelecom.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Fierce Telecom: During a press event yesterday, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said that next up on President Trump's telecom agenda is to roll back the FCC's 2015 Open Internet net neutrality rules. However, according to some reports, that might not happen as quickly as Congress' recent move to rescind rules that prevented internet service providers from selling users' data. As noted by the New York Times, Spicer said that President Trump had "pledged to reverse this overreach" created by net neutrality. He said the FCC's net neutrality rules, passed in 2015, are an example of "bureaucrats in Washington" placing unfair restrictions on internet service providers, essentially "picking winners and losers" in the telecom market. In comments aimed at the wider telecom market, Spicer said Trump will "continue to fight Washington red tape that stifles American innovation, job creation and economic growth." However, as the NYT reports, the process to repeal net neutrality likely won't follow the same procedure as Congress' recent vote to remove broadband privacy rules -- since those rules were only a year old, Congress was able to use the Congressional Review Act to move forward with its action. The FCC's net neutrality rules, however, are more than two years old and so can't be reviewed by that same act. Thus, it may fall on newly installed FCC Chairman Ajit Pai to rescind the FCC's Open Internet rules, which he voted against when he was a commissioner at the agency under former chief Tom Wheeler.
Donald Trump's puppet masters in Russia have commanded him to destroy our alliances and undermine NATO.
Donald Trump is dutifully following Vladamir Putin's orders to sabotage America at all levels.
After all, Donald Trump's bribes have already been payed, and his tape has already been peed on.
Vladimir Putin owns Donald Trump and is controlling our foreign policy through him.
Capitulating to extortion is not the same thing as a resolution.
So first you say the OP is wrong because the Netflix vs Comcast thing was resolved after the new rules came out, but when the OP shows that it was before, suddenly he's wrong because now you don't consider the thing to be resolved. You're like that guy who peddles bullets that can penetrate any bulletproof vests, then comes back the following week peddling bulletproof vests that stop any bullet.
I had no opinion about net neutrality but the more I read posts like yours, the more I realize that there's very little substance and a lot of bullshit on your side of that fence.
lucm, indeed.
