Internet businesses need stability to thrive. That’s the message that emerged from a meeting held here at the FCC last week between Chairman Genachowski and CALinnovates, a group of start-ups and young businesses that are creating jobs and introducing new technology products into the online marketplace.
A resolution to the Open Internet proceeding that preserves the foundational principles of the medium is fundamental to helping new businesses grow. Watch the latest installation in our FCC Tech Cast series -- a round of interviews with the entrepreneurs themselves -- to get their first-hand take on the urgent need for action on this issue.

Alas, these budding entrepreneurs are naive about the implications of so-called "open Internet" regulations. These regulations would actually prevent Internet service providers from providing products which new services may need - including guaranteed low latency and guaranteed priority. They would also prevent these companies from being able to compete with established entities such as Google, which are large enough to own worldwide fiber backbones, by purchasing enhanced services that make their products as fast as the big guys'.
What's more, some entrepreneurs - such as competitive ISPs - would be hit directly by the regulations. Restricted in what they are allowed to offer and deprived of investors (who desert all but the largest companies when regulation appears), these businesses' days would be numbered.
In short, the proposed regulations would be very bad for innovation and entrepreneurship.
The reason they are doing this is to give obamas buddies at google a stronger hold on the internet. why do you think they are plugging money into his "warchest" and having dinners for him. People wake up, obama needs to be impeached and all of his people GONE... If the FCC wants to do something right, they should keep their fingers out of the internet and let it go as planned. The FCC are not business people, they are there to hurt business and tax and regulate more. Can't wait until 1/20/13 when obama is sent packing with all of his "czars" , thugs and extortionists. You will find that this will be the MOST unethical, thoughtless, incompetent administration ever.

Oh, btw...how do you think the big guys got to that point? They started out small and grew. That is what is great about CAPITALISM...seems all the socialists "want their cake and eat it too". Hey, you are NOT entitled, even though the obama administration makes it out to be...make your money and grow the old fashioned way...WORK FOR IT, DON'T EXPECT HANDOUTS.
Just wanted to thank Chairman Genachowski for another government giveaway to corporate interests at the expense of the average American. You, Mr. Genachowski, and everyone involved in crafting this policy should be ashamed of yourselves.

hey, FCC, YOU are a greater threat to internet freedom and openness than any cable company will EVER be.
Stop trying to centralize and regulate the internet just because you think "something must be done!"
Newsflash, something hasn't "been done" for a long time and the internet is doing just fine.
Why try to "fix" something that ain't broke?
