" Now that the government owns and controls the entire infrastructure (since government money was used to build it,) then the government can open it up to anyone who wishes to pay to connect to and provide infrastructure support. Problem solved."
Uhm... It was made with taxpayer dollars, yes... But it ignores how private parties are trying to keep it private to maximize revenue to themselves.
The solution would be to take it out of the hands of the private market or ensure the public has access to it via government/worker control.
So basically, out intelligence community is just like the old school reporters they allow to interview them. Both can't understand the public and are used to the old way of doing things. That was secrecy with no light to show for it. But now, the new comers are bringing new rules and they can't figure it out.
Things like Reddit and social media scare them so they try to control it.
The parallels here are immersing. It might explain why old media is keeping in step with just such politicians.
I would think the fact that Comcast and AT&T have more money than their customers would be the reason.
Knocking out Net Neutrality through the judicial system sure doesn't enact confidence though so I have no idea why blaming the government for everything will help the problem.
" I'm not sure you can get away with calling this a net neutrality violation (I think the term is mutated to the point of uselessness anyway), given HBO Go on Roku will work if you have Comcast broadband -- but get HBO from another pay TV provider like Dish. Still, it's fairly curious how Comcast's own Internet video and on-demand offerings (which include HBO content) tend to take priority. "
Ah yes... Exploitation. Buy your competition, use their services, ignore customer service, and nickel and dime your captive audience until the government regulates. Meanwhile, the services are carbon copies of what you can do online with nothing to actually compete against their business model while more money flows to shareholders wanting more money in the short term.
Amazing how monopolies work to screw over the public.
" “I have no comment. You should talk to those folks that are giving away classified information and get their opinion,” Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) said when asked about the alleged intrusions."
Yes... Let's put Dianne Feinstein on line one for exposing more information than even Edward Snowden thanks to showing how these programs weren't about terrorism.
I know that some people believe this is damage control.
I'm one of them. So I have an idea to have these people bring out a strong statement in regards to copyright...
Release your works to the public domain. Show us and your label how important copyright is to you. You tried to charge a professor of law with copyright infringement as if he was a petty criminal. For showing off YOUR work. I think that the best punishment that fits this allegation would be to remove all shadow of a doubt that the public should lay claim to this dying.

Or a public domain license. It's not that hard. Put up exactly what you would have "lost" and show us your "loss".
... That's not actual anarchic practice and is a misrepresentation of actual libertarian socialist theories. While I don't practice anarchism, I would advise against this smear against people that are indeed anarchists.
That says nothing about eliminating the actual problems of a society which still gives more money to those running a corporation than those that work in it.
Gee... Having corporations run everything in a perverse sense that makes Adam Smith turn over in his grave isn't hurting the public domain at all.
Right...
I will let you prove that one to me since I just disproved your claim regarding pollution.
You haven't disproved anything. You've just thrown out some data while ignoring such issues as the West Virginia fracking spill or the West Texas explosion continue to occur.
How about the NAFTA agreement between corporations and the state to move to other areas to pollute?
Maybe instead of a heavy focus on blaming government, you could learn that corporate wrong doing has systemically destroyed the environment as well as lives, all for the pursuit of profit.
So... We combine no-knock warrants with a pre-crime list, add in swat teams and take away Constitutional restraint while multiplying a lot of military force...
Those computers do not compute well for LEOs getting away with murder.
Funny, my post never said that. Where are you parsing that from?
Both of you seem to be stuck in a paradigm that requires the illusion of government.
Or maybe the illusion is that private markets lead to disparities in society if you don't address the issues at their core.
You both benefit greatly by the unjust governments that people believe in and give power to.
Or maybe blaming government for the ills of society isn't quite the best way to understand how to move forward.
You are consumers of a vast amount of resources that are provided to you at a fraction of their real costs.
That's funny, because I don't see myself as just a consumer. And that reductionist POV is one of a few different ways to look at the world.
It is true; your life style would not exist without an organized, aggressive and violent government.
That's a HUGE stretch...
Governments are the biggest polluters and kill the most life on this planet.
Actually, "private markets" are.
Eliminating them would be a huge benefit for the future of this planet.
Right, let's just ignore that concept called democracy to just say that we don't need government...
You are currently part of the select few that are exploiting the world with your “government.”
Nice passive aggressiveness, but you've yet to make a logical argument that actually substantiates your point. Try harder instead of trying to blame people.
Your intellectual class is robbing majority of the world of its basic human rights.
That sounds rather utopian and ignores that when the state is eliminated in a society without getting rid of societal differences, it leads to class warfare, where someone gets exploited for the sake of a select few...
So can the public sue these people for breach of trust, false advertising, waste of time, and waste of taxpayer dollars for entitled children over the needs of the public?

Well, look at the TwitchplaysPokemon on how people can eventually make decisions in a democratic manner. It works albeit slowly.
Then you have other democratic decisions at the work place which makes for a way to organize outside of a bureacracy.
You might want to look into flat structures and how they are different from the hierarchical structure that you're alluding to.
