Does Ted Cruz not understand Net Neutrality?

What? No. C'mon Ted, pull your head out of your ass....

Lol well, that's how I'z sees it!

If this administration didn't have a track record of royaly fucking shit up and lieing about it, I would be a lot more open to government actually meaning well and trying to fix problems.

Tweaking the bureaucracy is basically all they have left. They ain't getting shit through the legislature.

How would classifying it as a utility open the door for content regulation?

He's already given his reason. He thinks "cuz gubment," then they'd somehow magically begin to do anything and everything they want.
What he doesn't realize is that what he is fearing is something that could already be be done without even classifying it as a utility.

Could be, they already do whatever they want, but I would think classifying it as a part of government, makes it easy for government control.

Uhhhhhh. Whut? Classifying something as a utility doesn't nationalize it......

You're still not weighing the issue on its merits.

Trojan horse?

Argument makes sense. Providers will have to pay into a slush fund under obamas proposal. We all know that cost will get passed straight to the consumer. Seems the FCC commissioner agrees with that assessment.

There are no specifics in that article about the "four-paragraph-long section of the 1996 Telecommunications Act." so it's hard to take them seriously, or check what they're saying. I want to know exactly what section he's talking about that they can somehow justify it. Also: It's from Fox News, so my skeptic meter is off the fucking charts, especially that O'Reilly has a nice cushy job at Comcast waiting for him. Conflict of interest much?

My skeptic alarm is peg'd all around. All the more reason to just slow the heck down and let us all see what's going on here. It's what scares me when all of the sudden they wanna rush into action on something.

Obamacare is proof of that. Was supposed to save us $2500/year and mine has gone up at least that much.

Something stinks about this too.

Truth be told, if Obama wanted this to happen, nobody could stop it short of a lawsuit or a new piece of legislation, which Obama won't sign and it'll force congress to override the veto, or he could pocket veto it.

You're right. And he does wanna do this. Badly.

Go back to my comments on him being a slave to his ideology. Why does he wanna do it?

It's to tax the internet and distribute those funds to the poor and public schools for internet usage. He slathers it in the chocolate of equal internet speeds and holding providers accountable....but if you look at anything moochelle Obama and the emperor himself have stated about Internet for the poor this thing begins to make sense.

And you and I instantly hit with another $1.90/month per phone to cover net neutrality...those comments from the FCC commissioner start to ring true.

Where are you getting the 1.90 fee from? Are you going to go on the unsourced words of a guy who has proven to have a conflict of interest, or were you able to find out where in the legislation it says this fee will be charged?
