Re: House Committee not keen on Open Access anyway

said by Michael C:

Actually that's not what Mike Rogers said at all. See, Mr. Rogers is confused about Net Neutrality. He thinks it's all about the FCC regulating content on the Net and picking winners and losers which is precisely what Net Neutrality prevents ISPs AND government from doing.

At 2:47:00 a confused Rep. Rogers agrees with Net Neutrality when presented it's definition by Genechowski »bit.ly/929daO

The biggest threat to Net Neutrality is allowing continued mis-information about it to spread. It's not a socialist takeover of the Internet as the lobbyist FUD would have you believe.
Listening to these Congressmen talk about the internet is just sad. Half of them have no idea what they're talking about. The stupidity had me facepalming over and over again.

The commissioners look like they're trying all they can not to crack up in laughter. Near the end one of the Congressmen is like "commissioner you're shaking your head over there, would you like to add anything?" after his utterly stupid and nonsensical question.

Ah the state of democracy in the US... ah well.

I was also very concerned at Genechowski's half-assed response to Rep. Rogers. While I give him credit for saying he flat out doesn't agree with the statement that Net Neutrality is the FCC regulating the Internet, he really wussed out on backing up that comment. He should have made the point very clear and in no uncertain terms what exactly Net Neutrality is. Instead, he hid behind the "uhh...well...I inherited this issue from a previous ruling forcing Net Neutrality on a condition of merger." (which btw, AT&T saw enormous growth under those forced regulations »www.fcc.gov/ATT_FINALMergerCommi···2-28.pdf »www.freepress.net/files/Finding_···nt_0.pdf)
