I'd like to be able to discuss the new "net neutrality" regulations but unlike everyone else, I have not been given an opportunity to read them. I am fairly certain that there is much more to the regs. than just the providing of bandwidth. After all it is well over 300 pages. I have heard one of the commissioners interviewed on TV and he indicated that among other things there will be a number of taxes and fees involved. I also heard a member of Congress interviewed and he said that the chairman of the FCC had been invited to speak before Congress about the new regulations and he declined the invitation.
Why does this situation remind me of another one where we were told that "we have to pass the bill before we can know what's in it." We have been told one facet about bandwidth that appears to be popular. But is that like telling us if we like our doctors and health plans we can keep them?
I smell the old slight of hand illusion in this.
