Whooooahhhhh!..... wait just a damn minute here!...

FCC gives Government the right????

Now it’s Government by the FCC?

Even liberals should understand the idiocy of this.

FCC was established and empowered BY the government!

Now the FCC gives power to the government?

Who the hell said this anyway?

Okay so I read this thing and like y’all, I’m wary.

At it’s least dangerous, this thing is the work of some business or other that wants to be able to transmit wireless data with NO interference from the Internet providers. Seems some Internet providers, Comcast is listed as one, will deliberately slow down data transmission in some cases. In the example provided in the article is was transmitting data from peer-to-peer files. Like If I wanted to send all my files over the Internet to you. The Internet provider deliberately slowed down these kinds of transmissions to better allow for other web/email users faster access that these bulky transmissions were slowing down.

But as is pointed out over and over, it really isn’t that big of a problem so I’m not buying that this is why the FCC wants its hands on our wireless transmitted data.

The bigger thing here, damn I must be dreaming, but I could swear we that this is an agency of the government voting that the government, in the form of this agency of course, has the right to regulate this kind of stuff.

It’s like I’m part of a human relations committee appointed by my company to study pay rates and benefits for a this same company. One day, boom, this committee votes that we can now, BOOM, hire and fire people.

Heh.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Next, the FCC will vote themselves the power to implement the death penalty, well why the hell not?
