The FCC is supposed to regulate AIR WAVES and signals that go through the air.

The internet does NOT.

This is a very frightening prospect - but not nearly as frightening as the idea that a new liberal Congress may give the internet to international bodies. If they do that, then the FCC won’t have to regulate the net - the UN will do it for them.

And yes, who do you think will be judging what can and cannot be said on the net?

That was a silly pretext for control even when it was adapted . My internet connection goes through the air as does my satellite TV .

Can you say WiFi, WiMax, wireless Ethernet? It goes through the air just fine. FCC also regulates telephone companies. The internet is routed over wired facilities owned by telephone companies.

This is a big stink bomb and a liberal wet dream. The left would like nothing better than total control of all communications. Hugo Chavez must be wetting his pants at this news.
