If you like your internet, you will be able to keep your internet. Period.
No one will take them away. No matter what.

You know he is enjoying our panic and angry rhetoric. He is trying to draw us out for the k!ll.
I like the picture.
Of course, if we're talking about Fundamental Transformation, we could also use this:
Can it be overturned?
It would be easier to overturn the island of Guam.
“It has been suggested that the FCC has become lawless.” Really? Like tax investigations? Lawlessness is a resume builder in the Imam in Chiefs’ administration.
Nothing like relying on a law from 1934 to hammer home the fact that government agencies can stomp freedom in to the dirt.
Few things militate against the Individual with the relentless focus of global information technology. Everywhere it has been employed, it has demolished hierarchies of authority, eradicated "subsidiarity" by consolidating control of anything that depends on information into fewer and larger hands. Is there anything in the material economy that doesn't depend on information?As McLuhan points out, instant, global communication renders sovereign national borders as quaint formalities, leading ultimately and inevitably to some form of virtual de facto superstate. Such an entity has the means to control people's access to, perceptions of, and uses of information, rendering them effective wards of its power, relieved of anything that can truly be called "individuality." You won't conform? Then you won't get the goodies, because your credentials will be revoked. So will be the Digital Pentecost, where a person ultimately is a source of tax revenue - a "number", if you will, to a superstate.
This is the real problem with technology. Selfies are only a distraction, proof that people's eyes are really off the ball.
Rule of Law doesn't matter anymore. The way power works is by controlling capital and by doling out "waiver" favors.
Before anything can be "revoked", the new technological regime has been installed and instant inertia keeps it there.
Can it be overturned?

For the fist time in human history, the one, single thread that unites mankind from one end of the globe to the other has become a rein in the hands of a single man.
I didn’t realize the FCC was a branch of the government, and a superior, unitary one at that.
Obama wants the U.N. to rule the internet.. Heck.. He wants the U.N. to rule the World with him at the helm.
AFAIK, 1919 is when the Supreme Court decided the constitution wasn't binding:
We admit that, in many places and in ordinary times, the defendants, in saying all that was said in the circular, would have been within their constitutional rights. […] It is a question of proximity and degree. When a nation is at war, many things that might be said in time of peace are such a hindrance to its effort that their utterance will not be endured so long as men fight, and that no Court could regard them as protected by any constitutional right.This, despite the constitution clearly saying:
— from Schenck v. United States
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Great point.
Ok, so they passed it.
Now where is the complete unredacted text of the regulations?
