From Free Press-
On Monday, Google and Verizon made it official: Forget "Don't Be Evil" — they're planning a massive corporate takeover of the Internet.
From the mouth of the FCC Chairman-
Julius Genachowski has maintained that the FCC has no plans to regulate the Internet, saying: "I've been clear repeatedly that we're not going to regulate the Internet."
From Me-
What a whore this guy is. No way were they going to appoint Copps. Chances are high the little guys once again are going to get screwed. The corporations in all likely hood are going to gain control of the Internet and implement pricing that will do what's been said all along-a tiered structure that favors those with money. If you don't have enough then you can move along and fuck yourself until we decide to get to you.
These fuckers gain control and we've already seen what Comsuck has done the last bastion of progressive and of real liberals will be gone and that will be the final nail in the coffin of any chance of winning against both Repugs and Dims who do the bidding of their corporate masters and not "We the People".
If you care to sign a letter you can do so here.
Where the fuck is Bama on this. He could make the difference but he won't because he was told this is the way it's going to be.
I just signed that thanks Tom. I want a free internet but I want to access all the news free or that may be it for me. I know there is a move by MSM to have you pay but I do not want to do that. They are trying to make up for their loss of paper sales.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it but OF is right. On certain things and items he is an owned man.
ReplyDeleteNot regulating the internet is the problem. They should be stopping this on anti-trust reasons.
ReplyDeleteA while back a guy left a comment on one of my posts. He was home less. So he was using a computer at the library.
ReplyDeleteGuess those libraries will be getting a lot busier. That is if they are still open. Many around the country are closing due to the lack of a local tax base.
These are just more control buttons being played by the Corps. And our fucked up leaders allow it.
Lets all remember that money is the mothers milk of politics. And these fuckers have plenty of political mothers milk.
You mentioned Obama...Not my favorite as of this time. I wouldn't count on him unless he get's the okay from the Republicans. We have our work cut out for us. I need a little education on this though. What if owned a server. Could you then have direct access to the net. I wonder. I could by a super computer for around 20,000. So I think that would be direct access.
ReplyDeleteEnd result, we're getting screwed yet again. Sure I'm going to sign it.
Well men I expect nothing but the worst because that for the most part is what we deserve I guess.
ReplyDeleteI will ask the fellows who I get my internets from how they will be affected. I would assume since they buy their bandwith from the big guys that they will be caught up in this as well.
This has been ongoing for several years and is coming to a head.
