They actually did it. Last week, the FCC published its net neutrality order in the Federal Register, stating that effective November 20 the federal government will begin regulating the Internet. Americans didn’t want this. Congress rejected it decisively — it only had 27 sponsors last year. The courts rejected it — they said the FCC […]
Following his party’s devastating losses last November, President Barack Obama made clear that where his party could no longer legislate, it will regulate.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is slated to vote Tuesday on an Internet regulation scheme hatched by Chairman Julius Genachowski.

Posted by Neil Stevens I’ve been held underwater by work lately and am just now catching up with this thing called “posting,” so forgive me if this post is light on links and details, but I want to give you all a heads up on what’s coming down the pipe in the Obama/Google administration. The […]
Posted by Neil Stevens The time is coming that the left is going to begin its drive for Single Payer Internet, and so the time has come for us to fight back.
