FOXNews.com - The FCC Goes for the Nuclear OptionI haven't read up on the subject, the theory behind it, the positives and the negatives, the actual plan, etc.
In its effort to imposing crippling net neutrality regulations on the Internetan idea with very little support from the American public or Congressthe Obama administration first turned to the FCC simply to pretend Congress has given it authority to regulate.
That effort suffered a major setback when the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals emphatically smacked down the FCCs regulatory proposals in Comcast v. FCC. President Obama and his close friend and FCC chairman Julius Genachowski, however, refuse to back down. Instead theyre escalating to the regulatory equivalent of a nuclear attack on the free-market Internet: Chairman Genachowski will announce today his intention to reclassify broadband Internet as an old-fashioned telephone system as a pretext for pervasive regulatory control.
Governmental control over the free flow of information reason enough to oppose this particular power grab.
And please don't let the fact that I linked to Fox news be your counterpoint. It was the first link that came up on Google.
It's not that it's FOX, it's that it's an Opinion piece. Another reason Obama's right, sheesh. You just linked me to an opinion piece when I said I haven't studied up on this subject. Hoping you don't consider this studying up, is all.
All he did was cite his spin on Events that happened. In order for me to form an opinion, I'd have to read on this shit for an hour or more to accurately pinpoint what it's all about and not simply divulge into what my inner rhetoritician tells me. That's just propoganda.
Yeah god fucking forbid you have to look something up your self. Is a transcript of a radio show acceptable or do i need to get government documents?
