One o them net-neutrality things
« on: May 05, 2014, 11:33:45 am »

Here, check it out:

Video from CGP Grey
The link to 'file a document in an official FCC proceeding' he provided: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=hosv2
-e Proceeding Number is '14-28'
Here's another link I checked to see what 'Reclassifying broadband internet to a telecommunications service' would result in.

Figured the guy has enough of a viewerbase that this might not be a waste of my time to spread around, and 'filing a comment on an official proceeding' sounds better than signing one of those innumerable petitions.

I don't see making them work for it as a bad thing.  :)

Well, speaking of net neutrality...

Go go protesting by cruel, inhumane 28.8kbps torture.  If I actually had anything worth mentioning I'd totally get behind this.

In terms of things that are actually happening, crossposting from America thread (because it's just dead apparently)

...the FCC's vote on Net Neutrality.

The best outcome is that the internet is reclassified as a utility, which is "vehemently opposed" by both the providers and Republicans.
