So this doesn't scare you at all?
The plan gives a Washington bureaucracy a blank check to decide how
Internet service providers deploy and manage their networks, from the last mile all the way through the
Internet backbone. Take interconnection as just one example. The plan states that the FCC can determine
when a broadband provider must establish physical interconnection points, where they must locate those
points, how much they can charge for the provision of that infrastructure, and how they will route traffic
over those connections. That is anything but light touch regulation. And the plan extends the FCC’s
interventionist gaze well beyond this part of the network. Small wonder that some pro-regulation activists
are already deeming the FCC the “Department of the Internet.

- ubernostrum 12y agoDoesn't scare me a bit, because I know the secret formula. Every night after I brush my teeth, I stand in front of the mirror and yell "LIBERAL FARTBONGO OBUMMER" five times; that magic incantation keeps the black helicopters from coming to force me to use the internet the way they want me to, and also protects my guns and repeals the entire income tax code.
