Obama Says FCC Should Reclassify Internet As A Utility
President Obama has come out in support of reclassifying internet service as a utility, a move that would allow the Federal Communications Commission to enforce more robust regulations and protect net neutrality. "To put these protections in place, I'm asking the FCC to reclassifying internet service under Title II of a law known as the Telecommunications Act," Obama says in a statement this morning. "In plain English, I'm asking [the FCC] to recognize that for most Americans, the internet has become an essential part of everyday communication and everyday life."
There's been a growing battle around protecting net neutrality — the principle that all internet traffic, no matter what it is or where it comes from, should be treated equally — ever since the FCC's original protections were struck down in court earlier this year. Those protections were able to be struck down because the commission didn't make the rules in a way that it actually had authority over, so it's been trying to create new rules that it will definitely be able to enforce. It hasn't chosen to use Title II so far, but net neutrality advocates, now including President Obama, have been pushing for its use.
Take one long look at our current electrical "utility" with all the rate increases to pay for loser windmills and solar farms that cannot produce enough energy to justify their existence, and you will see the future of the internet as a "public utility"
Hands off, Bozo. Your United States Post Office just got hacked and thousands of ssn's and personal information was released under your watch.
You go fix your own internet before you come to run ours...
Democrats just can't stand that something that everyone uses (the internet) isn't being taxed. Obama says he wants to protect neutrality but I guarantee if they get control of it as a utility they will tax it. I bet he loses sleep at night over it...that great big internet out there and he has no control over it....can't tax it....can't manipulate it to create more democrat voters....
When a person signs up for Social Security the SSI strongly advises opening up an SSI online account.This enables recipients to monitor the progress of their account,make changes,etc.The problem is that in spite of hacking issues they insist that service is completely secure to the user.One would question that security given the USPS hacking incident.Of course all of a person's personal info is requested...
this is about contolling the iternet content. it has nothing to do with neutrality. if they do not like what you are saying they shut you down. wake up
