Kiss your NET Neutrality goodbye

Quote:
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai will reveal plans to his fellow commissioners on Tuesday to fully dismantle the agency's Obama-era net neutrality regulations, people familiar with the plans said, in a major victory for the telecom industry in the long-running policy debate. The commission will vote on the proposal in December, some seven months after it laid the groundwork for scuttling the rules that require internet service providers like Comcast or AT&T to treat web traffic equally.
US Telco's and ISP's continue to funnel millions to their legislative-lap-dogs, as well as offer daily sacrifices of geeks to the gods "Block," and "Throttle."
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

I've been saying for years what we need to do is to convince Comcrap to be more eviler; let the start violating the crap out of net nuetrality by redirecting foxnews.com to msnbc.com or routing all traffic to it through a 300 baud acoustic coupler in Zambia and the idea that its just an evil democrat plot will evaporate and we'll have bipartisan support to fix it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

One of the problems with the power grab by the FCC was that the laws originally gave the FTC jurisdiction (and were never really changed.)

The "net neutrality" faction is significantly more evil than its opponents. Its backers want a government agency to block, throttle, monitor, censor, and discriminate internet content in their favor, creating corrupt content monopolies. Their "net neutrality" stance is an outright lie, and their recent political failure is a free win for ordinary Americans.
