General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: (Must get this off chest).... Unless Obama walks his talk on Net Neutrality, he is a Phony [View all]Armstead
(47,803 posts)The FCC Commissioners could have voted to end consideration and kill off Mr ComCast Wheeler's proposal for the Net Piracy Provision. There was an obvious outcry against it. It is not popular among anyone except the industry, who stand to profit by setting up fast and slow lanes
This was a decision point. By extending consideration Mr. Comcast Wheeler (appointed by President Obama) enables the Industry to gather their forces and keep up unrelenting battle. Meanwhile, average citizens can't keep up an endless battle for months and months,
Tere is no way to rationalize what Obama and Wheeler have done. It is simply waring down the citizenry so something awful can be shoved down our throat.
If my cynical interpretation is incorrect I will happy o be proven wrong. But so far the evidence is that the fix is in.
