lou99/maximus1987 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Upton, Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) and Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John Thune (R-S.D.) have introduced legislation that would prohibit the practices Wheeler has targeted, including paid prioritization of content, but without giving the FCC the broader authority over Internet service providers contained in his proposal. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-net-neutrality-fcc-hearing-20150225-story.html I have no idea how to find the bill that they floated to see exactly what it does.

lou99/maximus1987 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 No blocking: Broadband providers may not block access to legal content, applications, services or nonharmful devices.I guess this means Sprint can't block non-sprint devices with the right cdma bands.

No, maximus is not a lobbyist. And he is not so much anti FCC -- though that may come with the territory -- as he is anti Barack Obama. He and the likes of Berin Szoka, who is effectively a right wing lobbyist, are using eight year old statements made by then Senator Obama as means to further their negative agendas -- despite the fact that those eight year old statements are immaterial to the Net Neutrality issue at hand. Even though I already described in brief how the FCC operates, and Trip then offered a wonderfully detailed rundown of the publicly accessible rulemaking process, maximus persists with his vendetta.

I'm in favor of net neutrality and republicans were ready to pass that. But apparently obama and wheeler wanted more than just net neutrality. https://twitter.com/kerpen/status/571114672360976384 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcc said they won't: * implement last mile unbundling * introduce price controls. So then how will they fix high prices caused by lack of competition. Hmmm. Maybe by price controls and/or last mile unbundling?? Lol. Yes, for once, you got it. The real problem is lack of effective broadband competition. And, sadly, if you read many of the public comments in support of Net Neutrality in the FCC docket, a lot of people think that the point of Net Neutrality is to give them additional competitive options. Among an uneducated populace, transparency and democracy are not all that they are cracked up to be. That is why my deep down hope is that Title II will prove to be a nuclear option. It will stifle capitalist investment -- a la Verizon with DSL and FiOS. The FCC will continue to raise the minimum broadband bar. Legislators will impose deadlines and penalties on incorrigible ISPs. For those ISPs that will not comply, give them 90 days to remove their infrastructure from public right of way and cease operations in public spectrum. But that is highly unlikely. So, if there is never going to be healthy broadband competition because of capitalist oligopoly in this industry that has become a necessary utility, Net Neutrality at least gives consumers and content providers some protection against ISPs, which would otherwise have them both over a barrel.

lou99/maximus1987 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/02/26/net_neutrality_rules/ In fact, it is entirely within his power, and Wheeler could also have shown us the regulations when they were provided to the FCC's commissioners for the first time three weeks ago. But that's not all. Both commissioners expect changes to be made to the document after it has been formally approved by them, with the "OGC" – office of general counsel – given extraordinary leeway to edit and revise the rules even following formal approval. That is problematic because "most of the specifics haven't been addressed. They're very vague. Intentionally vague," said O'Rielly. His criticisms appeared to be confirmed when reporters, who repeatedly asked for specifics on the plan from chairman Wheeler and general counsel Sallet, were told repeatedly that those details had not been decided yet.
