Abandoning "Net Neutrality," FCC Chair Backs Two-Tiered Internet Fees

[ostralopithicus]

Josh Silver is completely out of touch with Internet technology development if he believes that any company in a free market can come to dominate and control the Internet.

Obama’s “FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn Free Internet a Civil Right for Every Nappy-Headed Child” watch?v=JWETGCggzcE She also voted for Net Neutrality,which could ultimately censor the internet impeding our first amendment rights of Freedom of Speech. watch?v=lGplqSh8fYU

.

Her dad is James Clyburn, former house majority WHIP. She’s probably aware our unfunded liabilities are $113 Trillion per us debt clock. (Also Obama wants a “kill switch” for the entire internet!)

Why are there so few tv stations & radio stations that only promote the same dogma news? Because they are owned by a few elitists. How did this happen? Government came in & regulated the airwaves & put into place so many barriers to new competition that there was no more new competition. Over time the wealthy bought up all the existing networks. Government is the tool of the wealthy oligarchs to control & marginalize competition. "Competition is sin" - John D. Rockefeller

In the early '60's during the days of the "former" Soviet Union, Russian Premier Nikita Kruschev pounded his shoe on the podium of the United Nations and shouted to the West, "We will bury you!" Fearing an invasion from the Reds, America proceeded to build the most awesome military machine in history. Unfortunately, we forgot to guard our political homefront from being taken over by socialist - communist - liberal activists who would gain office and destroy America from the inside-out.

corporate control of america. this isn't just about money, it's about control of information as well. BTW julian assange said he was just a frontman & that it was his role to take attacks for others. for whom, is the question.

The leaking lessens profits, eh?

Get´em lads! No censorship can hide their goddam heap of crap!

the industry can't fight it. eventually, everything will be cloud-based, and people will get their media and their content from the internet. the more the industry fights it, the more they lose out on... it's inevitable..

but this comcast-nbc/universal merger is scary... that's too much power and influence for a company.

if there's *anything* obama should stand for, even if he betrays his base on everything else, it should be net neutrality.. it's essential for freedom of speech and press.

Hey Lieberman, FUCK YOU!!!

Nice to know that FCC Commissioner Michael Copps is not shy in how he would fundamentally transform the United States of America . . . scrap the first amendment dealing with freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Although this really is not new nor a surprise, maybe its time to neuter Copps. The American People think the FCC has a bad case of Elephantitus right now. Michael Copps is going to be America's Minister of Propaganda?

Did not understand that last part....Is it me, or is the guy sometimes a bit unclear? Did he answer Juan's last question?

[Raikenbolai]

You know its bad because Lieberman advocates it. The guy never moves his a$s an inch unless it is to benefits big business
