Government regulation to F'up the Internet

[The Xl]

IMO, anything that gives the government more control over ANYTHING is bad. Everything they touch gets f'd up.

The government is bloated with rules, mandates, red tape, too many over paid bureaucrats, fraud, nepotism, greed, graft and lies.

Exactly. And it's delusional to think an entity completely owned by special interests is going to change the internet for the betterment of the people. It's a comical assertion.

I suggest reading up on the issue. It's sort of complicated.

What the current FCC regulation means is that the internet stays as is. Companies are not going to be allowed to limit access or speed in a pay to play scenario. It allows equal access to all people and all companies.

Ajit Pai is one of the FCC commissioners. He is against the FCC controlling the internet. He thinks that if you knew what was in the proposal you would be against it too. But like Obama care they don't want you to know what is in it till the FCC controls the net

Conspicuously visible on Pai’s desk is Wheeler’s net neutrality proposal, which has been circulated among the FCC commissioners but not released to the public.
