When you lose multicultural advocates you know you've lost the battle to shore up your support for Net Neutrality.
The FCC is going to miss its deadline -- because it's preoccupied with refereeing the competing interests of corporations and the nastiness of the Net Neutrality fight.
The FCC is playing a dangerous game here, and the people who have the most to lose are already the socially and economically disenfranchised members of our national community - low-income, rural, urban, non-English speaking, tribal, minority, underserved and underserved populations.
Congress and the President have charged the FCC with developing a National Broadband Plan to ensure that every American has access to open and robust broadband.
Ruling against FCC
“You can’t get an unbridled, roving commission to go about doing good,” said Chief Judge David Sentelle of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, suggesting that the agency’s “Internet Policy Statement” is “aspirational, not operational.”
The Comcast ruling shows the FCC has no ability to enforce their delusions of grandeur no matter how many speeches they hurl down the bureaucratic trench. Without additional public support Net Neutrality will eventually evaporate.
