I hate to say it, but your argument has become more & more true in the past 6 years or so. It's to the point now I am seriously considering changing my party affiliation to Independent. The tiny chance of change they offered WRT stopping the War on Some Drugs just isn't worth letting corporations run rough-shod over us like most of them would like.
IMHO the Libs are slowly becoming the GOP-lite. We need a national Pirate Party in the US.
That's just silly. Just cause your Google fingers are broke, doesn't mean there haven't been many examples of exactly what NN laws are going to hopefully prevent.
Sillyness, Dave. That's like saying the FAA has no authority to regulate airplanes, only airports.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions.
I thought it was awesome watching him go from a "maverick" to a completely bought & sold man as the GOP started grooming him for his runs at the Presidency.
Somebody hasn't been paying attention. The FCC is already in charge of regulating communications. They've had guidelines for Net Neutrality since 2005. Now they are just going to take those existing guidelines & make them laws so that they can fine companies for not following them. None of this would have happened if said ISPs weren't getting hard-ons over trying to screw-over their customers both big (Google) & small (me & you).
"McCain protested the FCC's proposal that wireless broadband providers be included in the net neutrality rules. The wireless industry has "exploded over the past 20 years due to limited government regulation," McCain said in the statement."
Wireless has exploded in the past 20 years because the damn technology has only become feasable for mass market computing in the past 20 years.
Even if they are only reviewing *games* for the iPhone, that is still over 13000+ & counting. At 4 a day that still a little over a decade to review the existing iPhone games. Then another ~5 years or so each for the future game libraries for the Android, Symbian, Pre & whatever the next big thing is.
Not years, decades. Assuming they can completely review 2 apps a day (paperwork, government workers inefficiency, etc), including weekends, it will take them 109+ years to get thru them all. Even at 4 a day it's almost 55 years.
In the past 2 years, my company's bread & butter has been cleaning up GIS (Smallworld, specifically) crap done by an Indian outfit for one of the largest ISPs in the country. They got paid to screw it up & we get paid to fix it. Needless to say, the ISP in question no longer outsources design.
Probably wanted to make sure they had a solid case. If they are guilty, who else thinks these guys will get away with a lower sentence then a non-violent drug user?

The airstripone tag seems more appropriate every day.
BTW, the UK has never had "innocent until proven guilty". I'm pretty sure it's the other way around there.
I'm betting they are excluded from this law a in typical neo-fascist fashion.
You're mouthing off & don't even know if he owned the vehicle in question or not.
Cell phones aren't police radios. The original poster wasn't talking about police radios.

But we aren't talking about Obama are we Captain Conspiracy?
The real question here is the Internet "interstate or international communications"?
I'd say the answer to that is a resounding yes.
My one fear in all of this is they decide to start trying to regulate pr0n on the nets.
At least read my posts before replying, kthxbye.
I.e. we should ignore companies when they are kicking & screaming.

Oh I love this part.

As usual McCain has no clue what he's going on about, surprise, surprise.

Go buy 4 tons of ammonium nitrate without being a megafarmcorp & see which prison you end up in.

I had no idea about this plug-in. Thanks for the links to getting it fixed / removed.
I hope you realize that's your own damn fault for voting for any politician.
Fixed that for you.
