| So is everyone calling and writting their representatives? Because as long as we keep crying on this online forum and not sending anything out, this isn't going to help anything. Leters, phone calls and even email. Get on it. |

It actually might if enough people did it. I'm not one to think that the opposite side is always a villain or even evil. But when all people do is complain about what's wrong and do nothing else... then nothing is going to happen. Seriously speaking. |

| Letter to the FCC Chairman Not that he will ever see this, but here are my comments I left on the FCC Web Site for Chairman Genachowski
Chairman Genachowski...
I think you need to read this:
»5 Signs Our Broadband Plan May Already Be In Trouble
People are clamoring for oversight and reigning in of these corporate giants who stifle innovation and drive up costs.
I think if you take the time to listen to the people, and read this article, perhaps you'll come to understand this.
One particular area of contention for most of us is the unrealistic caps these ISP's want to place on services. Two clear reasons behind this: To generate additional revenues on the backs of subscribers struggling already, and to stifle IP Video Solutions not provided by the incumbent ISP. It has nothing at all to do with Network Management, and these fat cat corporations know this.
Thank you for your time. |

kudos:2 | ISPs to the FCC. "ISPs to sign a certified certificate of their own awesomeness"
classic. in about 5 years, they won't even have to do that. the FCC will just give all the telcos and cablecos a free pass.

Re: So is everyone calling and writting their representatives? If anyone's noticed from the town hall fiascos, if you don't agree with the politicians you aren't listened to, you are just a paid for shill be the conservative party...
Which is funny since people who agree with this notion are doing it with no proof and have become shills for the democratic party... |

What i've noticed is that those that are most rude and yell over the politicians dont get listened to. oh well.
If you can't debate/discuss like a normal human then stay the fuck home.

My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it. He said, If I have a chance to invade if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it.I'm going to get everything passed that I want.

(youtube clip) that was rude also, but not as rude as people screaming at them.

Re: This surprises you? I wish I was smart enough to be able to setup an ISP and do this in Portland, ME.
If I could do this and be the boss my company would never ever cap the internet and it would give you the fastest speed.
And to do this it would not cost you an arm and a leg.
I HATE CORPORATIONS !!! |

it also helps if you have some signs/chants of "We demand healthcare reform NOW!!!!"

| Screwed Again After being lobbied by telecom carriers, the Commerce Department this week announced they'd be drastically reducing the volume of data ISPs have to provide Uncle Sam. ISPs will no longer have to provide government with data on connection speed, actual price paid per user, technology type or address-specific data. Instead, carriers now only have to hand over vague, market-area data that's not particularly useful in forming policy. If this is truly what happens then we are screwed and right back at where we started. This "data" would be no better than the zip code data we currently have.
The one thing that seems to be obvious in here and in most areas of law/policy making is that LOBBYING SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. The corporations, who don't vote, have vastly more influence than the people the government is supposed to represent. This is wrong on so many levels! |
