Post by: PixelBytes on May 11, 2017, 09:55
Looks like the new FCC Chairman plans to repeal net neutrality laws.

Falling off the wall is the part I'm waiting for!

That idiot at the FCC definitely wants to get rid of net neutrality and probably will do it this time.

You can make your views known (I did) courtesy of John Oliver's easy urlto find the right location for comments.

The summary of what the new FCC head is planning is to change internet service companies back to Title I classification - less regulation - from the Title II classification they received after Verizon sued to block net neutrality rules and the judge said, in effect, the only way you could regulate them like that is under title II. So Obama did.

Comcast (competing for worst company award with Time Warner) extorted payments from Netflix when Comcast had been slowing down delivery of Netflix content to Comcast internet customers. It's not just theoretical misdeeds that the current rules protect us from. And with a virtual monopoly - where I live, Comcast is the only high speed broadband provider and many US residents are in the same situation - they know if regulations are removed, they have us where they want us

I think May 18th is the deadline for comments
