Obama appoints an FCC Chairman who worked for cable and telephone and gave tons of money to Obama Dems. Now he's going to take care of his own, at your expense.
I've been sitting on this for a few days. Apparently nobody else cares to post it. I think you'll care when you can't afford to watch your twinspires video or Netflix goes to $20 instead of $10.
Lots of articles on this.........do some Googling.......Crony Capitalism ?
How about if the Supreme Court rules against Aereo soon? Feel your wallet tugging? You should.........getting to pace advantage might cost you more soon.....
"Obama's choice
A former cable and wireless industry lobbyist, the chairman is a longtime Obama loyalist and fundraiser. Prior to today's proposal he had declared his commitment to a "free and open Internet" and public service.
"If I am fortunate enough to be confirmed, my client will be the American public and I hope that I can be as effective an advocate for them as humanly possible," Wheeler told senators during his confirmation hearing last June.
His decision to clear the path for a payola Internet is an insult to the millions of people who have actively called on the agency to preserve the open Internet. And it's an insult to President Obama, who has repeated his commitment to Net Neutrality on multiple occasions since declaring his White House ambitions.
For Obama the choice is now clear: Either you're for Net Neutrality or you're for Tom Wheeler's Internet payola. You can no longer say you're for both."
