So what? The american public doesn't know much about it. The american public doesn't know enough to comment meaningfully about radio spectrum regulation, either, but clearly that's important and shouldn't be subject to the whims of the politically-motivated Rasmussen polls.
When the american public is automatically redirected from FaceBook to FIOSBook because their last-mile provider is Verizon, they'll care. The FCC should be ahead of the public, do the right thing, and take their lumps from stupid politically-motivated polls like this.

- mayank 16y agoThe problem is also that so much discourse these days is driven by buzzwords, with little thought given to what they actually mean in context. For example, the knee-jerk Republican reaction to the word "regulation" is negative. Pair that with the mention of a government agency, and you have an instant outpouring of ignorant passion. Some democrats might similarly support new government regulations unconditionally, but you'll rarely see people trying to understand the issues that they're so passionate about. This little technique has routinely been used to skew polling and survey results everywhere.
