Let me add a bit of sanity to yet another hysterical diatribe. While Pai may have stated that he's against Net Neutrality that doesn't mean he'll get that done. Kind of like Trump is pro life as many other presidents have been over the last 20 years and yet, Roe V Wade still exists.

Obama and his krew believed all sorts of things and yet, not all of it (thank god) was actually implemented.

So, given that how's about holding on to the hysterics UNTIL something actually happens and THEN start grabbing your pitch forks and torches?

cool but that has little to do with the topic at hand.


It is not only your cable bill.

it is

CELL PHONE

CABLE

INTERNET.

average American family is paying $232 a year. not at all hard to find the information it has been show time and time again...

most families have more than 1 box, families have no choice but to rent the digital box and many companies charge more for it.

Trump promised to look out for the little guy, he promised he would not forget them... yet two weeks in we are already getting ripped off as Trump hands the FCC to Comcast, Verizon , ATT.


V or ATT will buy out T mobile with Ajit Pai in control of the FCC.

Comcast will no longer be forced allow customers to bring their own box. as was planned.

Comcast will soon be able to charge YouTube, Netflix, Amazon to send data consumers .



IN 2010 the FCC forced cell phone carriers and landline services to Port numbers without barriers and in a timely fashion. They(carriers/providers) resisted, they cited costs, and choice as always. But the FCC insisted... Today you can port your cell number in ten mins with no hassle no calls no bs.

but that took the FCC fighting and battling on our behalf.


Pai is an industry shill. Pai is Trump's choice, he put him in precisely because he is the antithesis of Wheeler.

And without traffic, no clicks, no monetization, no money, no pay bills, bye bye.
This needs to be repeated.

This what the end of net neutrality means.

I'm not a fan or follower of the various right leaning web sites, but they deserve an equal chance on the internet.

Funny that the Left is more outraged that their cable bill MIGHT go up more than their HC premiums actually going up. I guess they can't live without that propaganda called the MSM.

They want everything for free and everyone else to pay their way as usual.

Trump is reversing consumer protection ref FCC. cell phones, cable and internet.


THIS IS FACT, not opinion, not my view, simply facts.



Do they conflict with what you were promised by TRump , well you decide .
No one wants facts. Please stick to your opinions.

Get REAL OP: Cable is over-rated, and high priced. Many have dropped cable and gone to streaming and Netflix. Also antenna TV. Much cheaper.
