Imagine if this was former President Bush who wanted to control the internet. He would be called a Nazi like he was when his administration instituted the Patriot Act which Obama has escalated to the yawns of the leftists who "despised" it previously.

Federal law prohibits it, so the FCC is in the process of having the internet reclassified as a telecommunications service to gain control in the guise of protecting your access.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid people.

That is hardcore disinformation...the FCC is actually looking for a way to stop ISPs (internet service providers) from controlling or limiting what we are able to access from the Internet. The source you site is well known as a very biased and alleged news source that supports ISP limitations on information. Look at their backers and funding; it's a no-brainer.

saratogaman, what do you think about the National Broadband Plan?

RichieLion, forgive me for going off subject, but I had to share this. I was reading your information to my husband. We were discussing it and then I read to him from The National Broadband.gov website and explained what it was about. He screamed, "Don't be logging into that government site!! They'll track you down and come in the middle of the night and waterboard us with the Kool-Aid." Now that there is funny.

Here's one part of the National Broadband Plan I love. They hope to totally revamp E911 into a system of wireless and Internet Protocol, in laymen's terms, that will work through the Internet with capabilities to text message (which is already in place in some places in the US), video conference, check environmental factors in the area where the call originates, check medical records of callers immediately because they will be in a federal database, you know part of the new health care reform. All at a cost of approx. $87 billion. They hope to help people with disabilities and non-English speakers. Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that the plan requires changes to the current FCC regulations that will allow them greater control of the Internet.

Caution to Conservatives!! Progressives may come into your home in the dark of the night and waterboard you with the Kool-Aid if you log into these federal sites and post comments they don't like.

You appear to have chosen to accept a major-league disinformation campaign. The FCC is looking only at internet neutrality which is opposed by AT&T and Time Warner, among others. They do not want you to look at sites that offer information that does not show them in a favorite light,let alone see that some other ISPs offers more for less. Some of us view that as censorship. Inform yourselves or drink the kool-aid -- do not let yourself be used.
Tell me why the views of AT&T and Time Warner, among others, benefit you and me...unless you are stockholder.
Why is there only one cable company in a given area? Is that really free enterprise...or is it monopoly?

My posts are from the FCC's National Broadband Plan website. Nothing more, nothing less. I provided links. Look and read for yourself.

Assuming that you are serious, it's not really a government site. Because it's a
whatever.gov -- which anyone can purchase without having to prove that one is a legitimate government entity --we are ripe to being sold a bill of goods.
I'm not going to, but I could probably go to godaddy.com and register www.absolutetruth.gov and make it look legit.
There are unresolved issues facing this nation...please be skeptical and not paranoid. Do not let the book-selling clowns distract us. They do not care about us...only we do.

They are not from the FCC.

Why do you misrepresent them?

Do you know how to go to the FCC's website yourself? Do you believe it is real?

Now I'm being absolutely serious with you. If you go to the FCC website yourself, do you believe it is the legit website of the FCC?

Go to the FCC website yourself and the link to the National Broadband Plan site there at the top of the page in big blue and white letters. Click on it and read and educate yourself.

I'll provide another link to the US House of Representative's Committe on Energy and Commerce where the information about the hearings on the Plan are listed. You may say it isn't real. It is. But look it up yourself and read, read, read. Educate yourself and learn with vigor and an opened mind.

Just wondering if saratogaman ever found the FCC website?
