Network neutrality (also known by the even more lovely sounding
marketing term “open Internet”) is an outgrowth of the larger so- called media reform project of radical left-wing activists like Robert McChesney http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/i...asp?indid=2227 http://www.keywiki.org/index.php/Robert_McChesney board member of Marxist magazine and the socialist founder of the misnamed group Free Press, http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/p...asp?grpid=7103 which has enormous influence on the FCC, where its former communications director, Jen Howard, is FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s press secretary. McChesney explained where net neutrality leads to SocialistProject.ca: "You will never ever, in any circumstance, win any struggle at any time. That being said, we have a long way to go. At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies. We are not at that point yet. But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control." The FCC’s new rules, ...approved on a final 3-2, party-line vote on December 21, take McChesney’s first step. Network neutrality sounds simple – force phone and cable companies to treat every bit of information the same way – but modern networks are incredibly complex, with millions of lines of code in every router, and constantly evolving. Making sure services like VoIP, video conferencing, and telemedicine (not to mention the next great thing that hasn’t been invented yet – and likely never will be under these regulations) can be handled intelligently by networks is necessary to make the Internet work, but every new innovative network practice will now be subject to the regulatory interference of the FCC. These networks cost billions of dollars to build and maintain, and if there is uncertainty about getting a good return on that investment, private investment will dry up. And then government will step in, “divest them from control,” and spend billions of our tax dollars on a government-owned and controlled Internet. According to media reports, many of the largest Internet service providers are willing to accept the new regulations, because they believe the costs of complying are less than the ongoing uncertainty they have suffered as the issue played out over the past two years. It’s an understandable assessment, especially in light of the Chicago- style shakedown tactics the FCC has used, threatening the even more draconian option of directly reclassifying the Internet as a public utility, taking a big shortcut down McChesney’s proposed path to government control. But there is reason to doubt an FCC that has been so obsessed with these regulations is likely to restrain itself from applying its newly created powers in unpredictable, expensive, and dangerous ways. Indeed we have already seen this Commission igno 1.A near-total lack of support in Congress, where over 300 members signed letters of opposition to FCC Internet regulation, and just 27 have sponsored Rep. Ed Markey’s bill to impose network neutrality rules. The bill has not even been introduced in the Senate. 2.A devastating unanimous decision of the DC circuit court of appeals in Comcast v. FCC, which eviscerated the Commission’s claims to have the jurisdiction to regulate the Internet. (We can only hope that court will similarly reject the latest regulations.) 3.An electoral tidal wave for smaller government, less spending, and less regulation. In particular, the election including an embarrassing display on the network neutrality issue by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which touted a net neutrality pledge signed by 95 candidates. ALL 95 LOST. Progressive Change Campaign Committee is funded directly by George Soros http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/g...asp?grpid=7625 With influencers like John Podesta, http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/i...asp?indid=1626 who chaired Obama’s transition team, openly calling for Obama to continue pushing his hard left agenda inside the executive branch, the FCC’s Internet regulations set up a perfect test-case for Congress to step in and stand up to the administration. (Despite FCC being officially “independent,” there are White House fingerprints all over this. Chairman Genachowski is a close friend of the president’s and one of the most frequent White House visitors.) Congress should act immediately next year to overturn the FCC’s network neutrality regulations with a joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act, which the new Republican majority can pass in the House and which can then be forced onto the Senate floor with 30-senator petition. It cannot be filibustered and would need just 51 votes to pass. Obama could veto it, but to do so he would have to take full personal responsibility for ending the most remarkable driver of economic growth, innovation, and free expression we have in this country: the free-market, unregulated Internet. Congress must show the White House that the strategy of pushing hard left inside the executive branch won’t stand. Congress must do what the American people asked for in this election: stop Obama’s big government agenda. http://BigGovernment.com/pkerpen/201...t-regulations/ http://StopNetRegulation.org |

Dear Sir, You don't know what you're talking about. Â*The government has no place 
in preventing ISPs from raping us up the ass in the same way the cable 
companies do. Â*ISPs should be able to limit the number of web sights 
we can access to less than 100, 50, or 5 depending on the package we 
choose. Â*Anybody who thinks there should be a law to prevent this is a 
Communist. Â*Corporations are our friends and the government is always 
always evil. Sincerely,
