Court: FCC has no power to regulate Net neutrality

[1800rocker.livejournal.com]

FCC Wants Power. Denied! The FCC is in my opinion A Waste of time! I'm a proud Comcast user and now even prouder. As they liked the ruling as do I. I'm glad it was thrown out it should have been. Why is this Administration is trying to control everything? It's making voters angry. If I want to talk about the news, etc I should be able to. I am a American and I enjoy my freedom and my internet freedom.

And ninety percent of the US either gets their service from one single provider, or tough fucking shit. Yeah, that's fair.

I might be wrong on this, but didn't at&t establish a defacto monopoly on telecommunication before being broken up and the industry being regulated?

[a-new-machine.livejournal.com]

There're arguments they still exercise such a monopoly (with VoIP being the main contender, such as it is). There was a lawsuit that got dismissed (targeted for a tightening of pleading requirements) that alleged continued conspiracies to keep third parties out of the market, and to not invade the others' markets. Never proven as it got dismissed before discovery, unfortunately.

AAGGHH FREE MARKET FREE MARKET FREE MARKET oh bullshit. The "Free Market" is nothing but an open license for businesses to use the privilege given them by having a fuckton of money to do whatever they like and fuck whoever gets in the way of their profits.

Fucking people over to make a profit is not a good thing.

Yeah 'cause the Internet and the national telecommunications network? Totally created and made what they are by the free market. Bell just up and grabbed hold of his bootstraps one day, fuckin' pulled so hard the whole thing popped out of the aether, while the Feds stood by rubbing their hands sniggering and plotting his downfall. True fact.
