FCC Vote Marks Effort To Take Greater Control of the Web

GovTechGuy writes "The FCC voted today to open an inquiry into how the broadband industry is regulated, the first step in a controversial attempt to assert greater regulatory control over Internet service providers. In a 3-2 vote the Democratic members of the Commission voted to move forward with the FCC's proposal to reclassify broadband as a telecom service, increasing the regulation it is subject to. The move also has large implications for net neutrality, which FCC Commissioner Julius Genachowski has made a focus under his watch."

You are correct. The fact that you spelled all those words properly instantly gave you away as someone who didn't go through the American public school system ;)

You don't understand. It has something to do with the Obama administration, and therefore its a naked power grab moving us closer to socialism and the end of The American Way of Life.
