FCC Save The Internet Rally 14
Washington DC, May 15, 2014. Social justice activists rally in front of the FCC to oppose proposed net neutrality rule changes that would essentially end the free and open internet which has worked miraculously well for almost twenty years now. Shortly after noon the FCC voted in favor of considering the odious changes allowing 'pay for play' fast lanes in the internet (and the implied threat of slower speed diminished service for those who don't pony up...), subject to "public comment" which you know will be a sham exercise leading to an already determined conclusion in favor of the big telecoms. This plan was so evil even Amazon and Microsoft signed off on a letter to the FCC opposing it (Apple was missing in action...) but I'm sure it was not for altruistic reasons. Hopefully 'cable' and TV sets will soon be a thing of the past.
