Looks like their happy with their leadership
Good for them. It is a state issue.
It won’t be long and California will be Venezuela.
If Obama being for it didn’t make it clear net neutrality was a bad idea, California looking to make it law should make it crystal clear.
California, here I come.......not.
Can you imagine how this would have played out had President Trump done this.
Another reason to avoid California like the plague.
Would seem to run afoul of the lefties’ notion of the Commerce Clause.

So California is practicing federalism?
Hey, knock yourself out. Good luck, and keep in in your borders.
You can’t require net neutrality in California - it’s technologically IMPOSSIBLE to guarantee because the traffic will inevitably come from out of state.
That’s why it’s a federal issue - DUH.
Net Neutrality was NEVER about fairness or equality but about government control over CONTENT on the internet. The left is pissed that they can’t control the narrative on the internet and they want to BADLY. That’s why there’s such a push on this under the guise of free speech but they completely and totally ignore the censorious actions of Facebook, Google and ISPs which actively and continuously shut down conservative viewpoints on the internet. In fact the left cheered when the Daily Stormer was (and continues to be) completely blocked from the internet because they’re Nazis.
And yet all I heard from the Net Neutrality temper tantrum was how people were going to be censored by the ISPs. Of course when you brought up the Daily Stormer of an example about how Net Neutrality didn’t prevent that I was immediately told to shut up and stop deflecting the issue.
So there ya go.
Good. Let California neutralize the net in their state.
So if they’re going to impose state-level regulations on entities which operate on a national and, in most cases, international basis, that means that those providers and associated entities are going to need to set up an entirely separate service structure for users inside that one state
The easiest, least complicated solution for internet providers is to simply apply California rules nationwide - thus bringing it back for all of us, which is what all big companies do when there is some California regulation, like air pollution - the auto makers just apply that rule to all products - its cheaper.
In this case, nationwide application of California rules is far cheaper than setting up an expensive structure just for California and then getting hit by Californians and the State for unfair business practices when they (the providers) have to charge California customers more.
Another word for censorship.
So, when the advances are made in that space, they just won’t be available in California.
The Fascists there won’t be able to demand “You must provide at no additional charge”....or, everybody’s cost will go up.
Enough of these half-measures, California. We aren’t falling for it.
The internet should be FREE!
Now get with that.
“condition to using the public right-of-way for internet infrastructure”
“Public right-of-way”??? Says who. You have a “right” for what you want to pay for. And no, you don’t have a “right” to determine how much such payment is “just” or not. And no, if you want to gorge 24/7 on streaming video while your neighbor does nothing more than Email and web-browsing, the costs for your video-streaming providers and your content does not “have” to be no different than those same hours cost your low demand neighbor. The back-bone providers have legitimate cost & financial rights to tiered and varied rates at all levels, which by the way the Googles, Amazons, Facebooks and Netflixes already do as well.
No federal bail-out.
Isn’t it time to California to stop flapping their gums abut seceding from the Union and get on with it? We can wall that worthless state off and let it rot on the vine.
re-route the border wall
