    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Misinformed jokes

    On top of all of this, should an individual municipality decide that internet access is a utility that people need to achieve modern living standards and that the ISP is not providing adequate service they can't stand up a municipal ISP without being sued by the likes of TWC. The grounds of those law suits are usually along the lines of "we cannot compete with an at cost competitor." The reality is they cannot compete with any competitor that will provide the same service for cheaper or a better service for a little more, yet alone a better service for cheaper. Don't claim they need any more money to do anything of they have done nothing with the money they already collect. Man, I feel like a I seeing a lot of astroturfing going on here.

    Re: FCC website

    According to the rules, the FCC does not have to (and will not) take into account, consider or read any emails related to net neutrality. On comments made through the official comment channels will be represented for consideration. This is my understanding and given past actions (think hanging chads) it's best to do exactly what is stated in the rules, despite what anyone says.
