Feeding Fail Whale

Today, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Julius Genachowski announced the agency will initiate a series of rulemakings to create a new regulatory framework for the internet. The new regulations could have a sweeping reach, affecting everything from content providers, bandwidth usage, and the emerging mobile network for internet access. The announcement rekindles the net neutrality debate, with the FCC indicating it will take a more pro-active role in shaping the future of the internet.

ISPs should have every right to ban file-sharing networks and all the smut that passes through. Unless done very carefully, this extension of regulation risks stifling investment in Internet access, executives said.

Yeah oppose net neutrality before Obama sends Captain Hammer to unplug yer lazy bunghole from your computer.
