I tend to be more of a libertarian than anything else, I voted for Bush. However, the President has truly blundered appointing Martin, a man who believes that he is on the FCC to be a moral crusader. I am all in favor of being a strong believer in God. Martin, however, takes it a step too far, he has his head so far up his rectum that he thinks the most important issue facing the FCC is T&A on television. What he should be doing is his job, to regulate enough so that the consumer has as much choice as possible, but not over regulate to the point it stifles competition and innovation. A very thin tight rope to walk. Martin has decided to jump off the rope and hit us all in the head with his bible.
So in the future will see some ISP's ruining our on-line experience in favor of promoting their preferred services. Cable companies scrambling to rearrange channel line ups and placing filters on their systems to appease a zealot Chairman at the expense of more channels and better service for their customers. In the end we all loose because Kevin Martin decided he would rather waste his time bullying the cable industry to be more moral, then being a smart regulator who acts when needed but does not over react. -- Whatever doesn't kill us, makes us stronger... |
