    This sucks no doubt but I kinda think Disney buying 21st Century Fox today which now gives them 60% ownership of Hulu and Disney has an upcoming streaming service that will have all ESPN networks and now Fox Sports regional networks is going to somehow combat Comcast from fleecing the consumer even more with this decision to end open internet.

    [/QUOTE]While I point out Reagan, Dems are no better, I only point to it as a beginning point. They have all become complicit.[/QUOTE]

    I agree, this is an issue by both Dems and Rep. Our citizens inabilility to call out bullshit when its your party, is the problem in this country. Reagan, Bush HW, Clinton, Bush W, Obama, and Trump has all done stupid shit, but right now their respected parties and more importantly the citizens shy away from calling out their own people.

    I for one will say this is a total failure of Congress to do their job, added directly by political contributions by ISPs to blindside every citizen directly. Happens every day, but not this cut an dry.

    No Fox keeps Fox News, Fox Broadcast channel, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports 2 but FSS (and all the other regions) FSN, Yes Network are all owned by Disney now. Disney also now owns FXX, Nat Geo, FXMovies etc... This is a gigantic move that happened today. Disney now owns 40% of the box office market.

    Wow that is big then. Hope they stick to sports on their sports channels and news on their news channels.

    I see the irony in that statement with this post being on this website, but note N.N. is about the internet....so some leeway please.

    And if you don't believe this. Call the office of your Congressman. Their staff will pat you on the head and say "We appreciate the input of our constituents. Have a nice day." Unless you are bringing them a fat donation check, they have no time for you or your opinion or concerns.

    because their sole unifying principle is to transfer as much wealth as possible to their corporate donors

    It never amazes me the number of people who fail to realize that government regulation is nothing more than selecting winners and losers and limiting access to the free market by force. Licensing is nothing more than a barrier to market entry. Net Neutrality was a nifty name for government and not the marketplace to determine who can provide your servivce. I'd much rather have a free market where anyone can enter the market and provide any service that I'm willing to pay for .. than to have a limited number of providers who only offer a set of service standards as determined by government....I'm smart enough to determine what is good for me.

    A minimal level of regulation is a necessary, good thing. This really cannot be debated. Prevents a WWW situation.

    So...ya'll would rather the internet be like your phone or cell phone bill where you get hit with huge FCC fees and taxes? That's where Net Neutrality was headed.

    Pick your poison.

    Harper, Gregg $33,800
    Kelly, Trent $3,300
    Palazzo, Steven $11,100

    Cochran, Thad $123,750
    Wicker, Roger $151,800

    Trent Kelly should have held out for a bit more money. What a dumb ass.

    No it is not and it never was. Stop that. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about, as do most people who are against net neutrality.
    WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING?!?
