Great article on the erosion and complete elimination of consumer rights and the free press that are in the headwinds of a disguised "improvement" to anti-competition. Let's hope that the 22 million US citizen comments will have enough of an impact on the courts and the sanity of some people left in the government. Apparently profits are far more important for cable and telecoms companies (in a supposedly free and open society like the US) than something as "frivolous" as customer rights to a free and open internet.
The government always knows what's best for you and me, and is insisting that we don't need a free and open internet. Instead we should just be happy to have any internet at all and open our wallets up to the cable and telecom companies, since we obviously haven't been paying our fair share and have been hurting those big poorly treated monopolies like Time Warner, Cox Communications, ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon, and many more.
