 FCC Tries to Find a (Third) WayPosted on Jun 18, 2010
The FCC has reignited the battle for net neutrality after it requested public comment on three different plans for broadband Internet regulation. The new plans were introduced after a court ruling knocked down FCC measures to oversee Internet service providers. FCC Commissioner Julius Genachowski has announced his support for what he calls a “third way” that would ensure oversight by regulatory agencies but would not involve the government in matters of pricing or content, services, applications or electronic commerce. ISPs like Comcast and Verizon stand opposed to any new regulatory action. —JCL

If they have their eye on it you know it is for some underhanded expansion of the police-corporate state that is now the back-drop of all their actions and ‘protections.”

hello. the most devious schemer will be rewarded by our government. sinister greed addicts strive with orgasmic frenzy to profit from this waning administration, and the damage may never be cured. they have moved on to change the classification of the internet from information to communication- the same impossible to change mislabeling technique the government used for a drug they named marijuana. change its wrongful classification from narcotic, and the money goes away. the internet is information technology. a devious crook is trying to mislabel it. we all know, it is because the government wants content control over a medium they have no right to; a universally interconnecting medium, that has been damaging their, and other government’s: media control. free speech will belong to those in control.
