I came across this website by accident today. I am still shocked and trying my best to discern what it says. It appears to be the Federal Communications Commission's web page. This government enforcement and regulatory agency is promoting the national broadband Internet plan not yet passed by Congress.
A few weeks ago, the FCC presented Congress with a proposal that could cost as much as $24 billion to provide high-speed broadband Internet capabilities to every American man, woman and child.
According to the FCC's own website, "The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent United States government agency. The FCC was established by the Communications Act of 1934 and is charged with regulating interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable. The FCC's jurisdiction covers the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions."
Why would they promote a new policy? Is this agency like the Environmental Protection Agency overstepping it's bounds with Cap and Trade and the Commerce Department wanting legislation that would require AM and FM radio stations to pay performers a fee when they air their songs?
