Re: Is it over?
said by T1 Rocky  :Help me out here. So is the fight over? Is that the end of it? Are the ewoks dancing? I can't believe it hasn't gotten more attention if this is the final decision. I just looked at the yahoo telecom headlines and there is no mention of this. The fight about "national franchising" isn't over. It will return in the new Congress. And if people think that because Dems are now in control, that things will change, think again. The only difference will be that the telcos will now be funneling their campaign cash to the Democratic Committee Chairpersons instead of Republican Committee Chairpersons to introduce a new National Franchise law. Any who think otherwise are EXTREMELY naive.

| Chances are you won't hear the same people complain the Dems are doing it either.
Most funding usually goes to the winning party, this time it just happened to be GOP...

1 edit | said by T1 Rocky :But is the net neutrality fight over? No, far from it. I am sure that "net neutrality" legislation will be introduced either as a standalone bill or as part of some larger telecom bill. And the chances in the Senate, where 60 votes are needed to override filibusters make its' passage a crap shoot. It may all depend on how comprehensive it is; the final wording; on which industries like or dislike what is proposed. And don't forget that Bush can veto any law that the admin doesn't like and the chances of override in the Senate would be slim.
