FCC Plans to Gut Net Neutrality, Allow Internet Fast Lanes
The Federal Communications Commission Wednesday
So we have the image and the "reverse Obama" in the beginning and they close the article with a call to action for those that want to be part of a group but they gloss over this part by pulling attention away from it with placement above a high contrast image of more protest signs…:
The order also reverses the decision to classify both mobile and home broadband internet services as "common carriers" like telephone services. That change will allow the Federal Trade Commission to enforce antitrust laws against broadband providers should they engage in anticompetitive behavior. The order will also require broadband providers to publicly disclose if they block or slow content, or accept payments from companies for preferential treatment.
"Under my proposal, the federal government will stop micromanaging the internet," FCC chair Ajit Pai said in a statement Tuesday. "Instead, the FCC would simply require internet service providers to be transparent about their practices so that consumers can buy the service plan that's best for them and entrepreneurs and other small businesses can have the technical information they need to innovate."
Now I ask you if having a better ability to hold anti-consumer practices against these guys is bad.
They were called a utility before but now they are again seen as a business.
Perhaps the internet is a utility like water.
Perhaps we will avoid the connections plumbed into our homes for fear of taste and quality…
That's utility, bottled water is better.
Bottled water is business with competition…
