| Wow... what a bunch of idiots
I run a small ISP in a rural part of the US. I DO NOT WANT THE FCC POKING ITS NOSE IN MY BUSINESS. I can survive competition, I can survive poor economic times... but I CANNOT SURVIVE GOVERNMENT. It is the only 100 percent lethal entity small business has to fear.
The telcos actually WANT the reporting done, so they know exactly how to kill off all the small ISP's who have their own infrastructure. Then millions of people will left to the kind and personal ministrations of the biggest telcos. Ever tried to get personal help from one of them?
I cannot believe you idiots actually WANT the government to take over the ISP business. Seriously, SHOW ME ONE EXAMPLE of how invasive regulation has dramatically decreased cost, increased competition in the market for consumers, and lowered the actual costs. Man, I just want to SURVIVE after putting my life's savings and years of work into my own 2-man enterprise, and the single biggest threat to my survival is not limited capital, poor economic performance, nor competition... it is government regulation, mandates, and interference. And if I go away, NOBODY will service most of my customers.
Government meddling has never improved a thing Government meddling = increased cost, lower availability, and reduced choices, EVERY TIME. Yet you crybabies are so wrapped up in your infantile " hate the corporations" nonsense that take completely irrational ideas and speak in slavish devotion to them. |
