What he's basically saying is what internet advocates have been pushing for the longest. What he means is that the internet should be treated as a common carrier.
our freedoms, we should be restricted to one carrier who has full decision on where and when we get internet data. That way they can put an end to competition like Netflix and Amazon Prime. . .so that you have to buy all television from Comcast directly. If you want netlfix, you have to buy netflix AND a netflix charge equal to how much they would lose on you not buying more tv channels
Because once the FCC declares it free and open, they have been granted control of it. And once they control it, it will begin to lose its freedom, one step at a time.
Just like abortion. Declared a "right". Then restricted to the point of extinction.
Hor once in the worlds history, a person with a message can speak to the world.
They want to regulate what you say. That is the FCC in a nutshell.
This situation is nothing like that at all.
It's about delivering a uniform product to all who use it. ISPs like Verizon want to provide better carrier speed to select customers who pay more than the rest of us.
The president is lobbying for the FCC to declare the ISPs as "Common Carriers" and insure there is no discrimination when delivering broadband to subscribers.
What, exactly is there not to like?
Of course, there will always be that element that projects paranoia and fear of any regulation, but that's par for the course.
