Hollywood, FL | Invertebrates . . . The FCC in its history has generally been pretty spineless, and this round of "officials" isn't any better.
I see them in hearings praising Congressfolk up & down for their "leadership" on a particular issue, I tell you what it's really quite disgusting.
Generally speaking one would like to believe that the open market will take care of itself. However, history (especially recent history) has shown that the media moguls have absofreakinlutely no quams about squelching those voices which don't mux with its own. One could say that cablecos or any broadband provider would be rather stupid to try and limit content, especially if they do so in a way which is patently obvious -- as customer satisfaction would likely dictate loss of subscribers (not that cablecos have ever been concerned about that before).
As broadband adoption increases and the media entities take a more hands on "it's OUR network!!!" approach, we are could start to see some very interesting effects on what you can and cannot see with your connection, or what "enhanced content" certain providers serve up.
