Bravo FCC.. keep standing up on net neutrality. As much as I personally hate it, it's in the networks to segment and impose tolls on the internet. It seems the FCC is the only body that's looking out for the publics good on this.
Pretty much everyone is on your side, except the networks and their money..
Can you make a bigger issues of this? Can you get on NPR and Fox news and make the case - this is something both the left and the right can agree on - allowing free markets via has too many benefits to allow it to be decided by chance.
Allowed to go to it's logical conclusion, without net-neutrality I might never have been able to post this comment.
Well played.
