FCC Revokes Net Neutrality [WAS: FCC Approves Net Neutrality]


JThorson

Recommended Posts

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.

I have no idea how to find the bill that they floated to see exactly what it does.

Yes Mr "I work at the FCC" it was released

 

If you hate me so much, please do not respond to any of my posts going forward.

The tone of this thread is getting completely out of line.  lou99, you are free to communicate your beliefs and thoughts on the subject.  But your approach is getting out of hand.  If we want the thread to continue, CIVILITY AND RESPECT MUST REIGN

Lou, you a lobbyist? You sure sound like one. That or you lost money on this pro consumer move the FCC made.

 

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.

The issue is transparency.

What's the big problem with releasing the order before it's voted on? Seems like something as big as this would merit a violation off FCC TRADITION.

 

Transparency is negative aim? Huh???

Your post is fine, until the part I struck through.  Please do not pick fights with people.  Especially in sensitive political threads.  If you can remove the immaturity and drama out of it, I think you can still explain your view points.  Even as unpopular as it might be to the majority of the people in this thread.

Yes I get how the fcc works. But apparently obama in 2007 didn't get because he demanded the same thing I am.

 

Shall I repost those quotes too?

 

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.

You are not gaining any ground from the sources you cite.  You are living in an echo chamber of free market zealots, fossil fuel promoters, and climate change deniers, maximus.

You are completely missing the point.

The tweet was someone from google saying that an opposing viewpoint is malware that should be squelched. The viewpoint is irrelevant. I'm sure I could find a statement that all online hate speech should be banned.

 

And how will this squelching happen?

Why with title II.

 

The exact viewpoint is irrelevant.

Apparently some very powerful people want to turn the internet into a college campus with a free speech zone.

Wasn't the real problem lack of broadband competition? People having only cable and now non-broadband DSL.

 

Title II will help how?

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 the source should be considered and the article still read to see what points the other side has.

 

I read huffington post and sometimes I think they have a good point and other times I don't.

So, everyone should have the freedom to be ignorant and incorrect on the Internet.

 

The problem with that for a man of learning, such as Vinton Cerf, is undoing misinformation becomes more difficult than teaching sound information in the first place.

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.

It's not like they voted enact these rules, they only voted to bring them for public comment. They're still finalizing that draft.

 

You're blowing this whole thing out of proportion.

Who decides what's stupid?

 

The point of free speech is that no one gets to decide what is ok speech with very few limitations.

 

I support free speech. It's scary but not a surprise that you seem to not as it has become normal for libs to want to censor whether it's here or in Europe.

There's only one vote.

There won't be another after the rules are public.

But wait there's more!

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.

    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
