Hope this causes a lot of PROBLEMS for the low information voters!! :munchin

BMT

I'm sure the hackers are not pleased. I'm f&*(^ng pissed about the way fed's did it.

I'd prepare for massive internet outages....

If you believe anything the left says about regulating climate change, the Internet or affordable healthcare...raise your hand...

Ok...

Now, use that hand to slap the shit out of yourself 'cause you're an idiot.

With the left, it is all about expanding government power and redistributing wealth.

Regulation is the currency of government...with it they use your money to expand their power.

Everything else is camouflage.

Numbers
 

My numbers may be off but I was reading that there was about 7 (?) large internet provides and about 3,000(?) small ones.

The internet is jumping because of all the innovation and buzz of the smaller ones.

The new rules, regulations, taxes and "oversight" is going to drive may of the little ones out of business.

Plus rates are going to go up about 16%.

The big companies with deep pockets are already lining up to put money in the pockets of politicians.

The Internet is the last bastion of freedom and liberty for the little guy.

Think of the Internet as the Keystone pipeline of information and commerce.

Predicted. Messaged per the playbook; big bad company vs. little guy (who should now be comforted someone is looking out for them).

The '85 court decision gave the telco's carte blanche to go after markets as they saw fit, but infrastructure is a decades-long capital endeavor. If the little lefty-academia-genuflecting-alum peasant thinks their monthly bundle bill is going to fund capital investment by the telecomms they have another think coming. Wait till someone plays the tape to the end for them.

The transparency aspect? De rigeur for this regime. All is tolerated because of a stone-less Congress. The 2 R's on the commission panel today (outvoted) were pretty clear in their descriptions of the ambiguous (i.e., let's fill in what we want later) nature of the rulemaking.

Lol, under this regime - growth in government generates a corresponding death of individual liberty - and a massive redistribution.

They have basically telegraphed their hand at every turn.

That fundamental transformation marches on.

Leftists
 

The leftist have no problem with shutting down the free speech of the right. In their eyes it's OK because the right is wrong so they shouldn't be passing their trash.

They say "Shut them down and make the world a better place."

Just like "Free Speech" on a collage campus.

The clue was the way the left reacted to the IRS scandal. They didn't see anything wrong with the IRS targeting "right wing" groups.

The left will see nothing wrong if the FCC goes off the reservation and starts shutting down what they consider to be "right wing" sites.

Both sides argue that the Internet is like the Keystone pipeline of information?...I see your hand going up...

ETA: So help me understand, you think the side that wants MORE regulation of something that is thriving is equivalent to a side that advocates for freedom ? Or, you can't make up your mind? Or, you don't understand? Or, you agree with the left?

Increased government regulation hurts the little guy.

The big guys line up and line lobbyist's pockets to write the regulations in a way that favors the big guys (that is the currency I alluded to above) once govt get's to stick their nose in with regulation...especially this regime...the little guys or those that do not agree with the regime...better watch out.

Oh, and the lobbyists often come from the staffs of the legislature that "wrote" the regulation.

It is a big circle of corruption.
