FCC sells out again!



While surfing my morning news I ran into this... and my heart sank.

Why is it every time anything comes up that would HELP the regular Joe Schmoe on the street we always watch the 'big money' move in and corrupt or destroy it and in the end the general public has to pay more for everything?

Who could possibly think this is a good idea? We are handing over the wireless broadband to AT&T and Verizon and basically saying "Do whatever you want!"

This 'deregulation' and allowing companies to do whatever they feel like is what we just watched happen with the banking system in America. Have we not learned anything from that fiasco?

In a few months/years when people see their internet bills go through the roof - just to enjoy the same bandwidth and freedoms we had until today - everyone is going to start screaming and complaining about this and it will be too late.

Absolutely and unquestionably the WORST thing that has happened since the Patriot Act and I am betting we'll hardly see anything on the news about it at all.
