Everyone Gets a Bonus from Obama's Net Neutrality Plan


Timothy Karr



Buried deep in President Barack Obama's American Reinvestment and Recovery Act is a line that should bring a smile to your face -- and a scowl to phone and cable industry lobbyists.


It requires that billions of dollars directed to connect more Americans to broadband be spent on services that meet "nondiscrimination and network interconnection obligations."


What this really means is the good guys have won one battle in the fight for an open Internet. According to Obama's plan, government must now require that the $4.7 billion in federal grants for high-speed services be spent the right way: building networks that abide by Net Neutrality.


In other words, this money -- your money -- cannot be used by powerful companies like AT&T and Comcast to implement plans to "manage," filter or re-route you whenever you traverse the Web.


They have been angling to do so since it became clear that people wanted to use the Internet for more than simple email, ecommerce and search.

I never had a doubt in my mind, my friend.  I hope you have a great holiday!  I personally love America and have the utmost respect and deference to our soldiers, past and present.  I know you do, too. 


I trust him to smile

charmingly when someone puts one of the silly distraction issues to him.  He  brushes it off and continues to work on plans for correcting the financial disaster brought about by McClain's deregulation legislation with Phil Gramm, ending the senseless war, and the dozens of other serious issues that we are facing.


 


that is a charming smile....he just has gas.

Your reply made me smile - especially the last line.
Thanks for the laugh.

By the way, why can't politicians be recalled or fired? Why do we have to wait 4 years or so and then it seems like they put themselves back in the position. So if a politician is voting on issues that are damaging their own state and are bad for the citizens of that state we have to wait a whole 4 years and let them continue their reign of incompetence?
