said by Mike:Why are conservatives like Wheeler so against states and local rights?
What are they really trying to do, give us one large central over-reaching government?
Wheeler is not a Conservative. Please check your facts.
Conservatives do support States' rights.
I don't see anything wrong with regulating wired broadband at the state level, so long as those regulations don't violate the rights of the ISP and the MSO, which most proposals here would.
You would also be creating 50 separate sets of court cases to be tried, and you'd see a lot more firms walk away from cities that become too difficult to deploy, while the local government will fail miserably to provide an alternative, though that won't stop them from extracting taxes for it. Be careful what you wish for.
