FCC Secret Meetings about Net Neutrality

FCC to Hold Secret Meetings on Net Neutrality

Who is attending these "secret" FCC net neutrality meetings?

 

One of your links is invalid in every way, the other one goes to a very clearly biased website. Do you have any objective information to post on this issue?

 

Sorry, I didn't realize that!!!

Just saw this recently and thought someone might be interested.

Which one do you see as biased?

Sorry about that.

 

The first one.

And you have nothing to be sorry for. Net neutrality is very important, that's why we need to make sure the sources we link to are legitimate.

 

Got an email from that first one.

That's what led me into this.

Never saw anything useful from them.

 

Also, if they were secret meetings, how did you know about them. Secret = secret.

Almost like the secret meetings in the anti-nuke compound of Majorgeeks. Which who knows what happens there.

 

Yeah, right.
I was just quoting the title of the article.

I think their beef was that certain people were supposedly denied access
and this is supposed to be 'transparent'.

I had not read anything about net neutrality until today.

Sorry if I offended anyone. That was certainly Not my intention!

If I was out of line in some way by submitting that post, I apologize.

 

Agreed, for net neutrality to become a serious problem there would have to be virtual 'excuse the pun' cartel incorporating dozens of providers and communications companies and its been shown in the past all it takes is one company who isn't on the coolade to offer a better service for the rest of the industry to fall in line and start competing again.

EDIT I can't stand lobbying though,it happens over here a lot also,it seems vary unfair to me that the businesses that can afford it get the leader of the country's ear.

 

The term "net neutrality" is also, by and large, a buzz term for governments to take more control over, or take control from, private enterprise on the internet.

The internet is doing just fine, thank you, Washington D.C. It doesn't need any help from you or any other governmental agency . . . nor do we net users need the taxes that would result from the kind of "help" you want to "provide."

The internet is not a "cash cow" fix for runaway government spending.

The only government regulation we need is something to prevent monopolies from taking hold . . . and that does not involve a federal TAX.

 

I sometimes daydream about what I would do if I were in political power and one of the first things would be to decree the internet free from government control and snooping,only in the very serious crime cases should it not be free.

Nice link, onepercenter13.

Creepy stuff, indeed . . .

Uncle Sam . . . I love ya man, but please step away from the internet already!

 

More than creepy. Though it started out pretty innocuous, watch his eyes, especially in the last 25% where he starts talking about the governments role in internet content.

Down and to the left, repeatedly.

He's concealing and lying.

And wow, five people who can't be fired and control one-sixth of the economy!?? You gotta be kidding!

 

And I thought wires were working just fine.

 

Scary indeed. In the old days, they/we used to say "the net routes around damage" Maybe some way to route around any government control of speech on the net will evolve...

 

Government wants to decide what is balanced. :confused If I hear the word 'unprecedented' one more time I am going to uke

 

Thank you for posting that Halo, and reminding me that I still need to find a reliable and solid replacement for Verizon in my area. The other providers don't have nearly as good coverage, unfortunately, so it's not easy.

 

Neither do I, but who I sign a contract with and send my money to is the only voice I have as a consumer. It probably won't help, but I don't see why that should stop me from trying.
