Please, Bert. You know perfectly well that NET neutrality mandates were
an Obama era phenomenon.
When I first saw that idea in an article, it's been years now, I couldn't
believe my eyes. So I did a search on telecom neutrality, and of course,
quickly discovered the history of mandated telecom neutrality. But I frankly
refuse to go back through all of this again. Telecom neutrality has been
guaranteed to the American people for over 100 years. Everyone who uses the
telecoms, including the Internet, depends on that neutrality. The Internet is
merely an evolved telecom service. It has been called "advanced telecom
service" by the FCC, ever since ISP service was made available to consumers. I
went through all of this in detail, quoting from FCC documents. But I have
stopped reading and responding to circular, endless arguments. Too much of a
waste of time.
And please note that I am not arguing whether net neutrality is a good
or bad thing.
You need to ask yourself why you think that Internet service, to consumers, is
not AT LEAST as critical as telephone service. There's no need to reinvent what
happened back in 1906. The vast majority of people seem to understand that
Internet service, to them, is a telecom service, and must be neutral. That's
why there's so much public furor against this crooked Chairman. People get it.
I'm in opposition to government officials, most likely on the take, who work
only for the best interests of 3-4 companies, John. Even more appalling is when
they lie, to further their goals. That's not what they were hired to do. If
they want to lobby for special interests, they first need to remove themselves
from office.
