It is as enforceable as Congress says it is. And the FCC was ordered by Congress to come up with this. |

The FCC WAS ordered to draft a broadband plan, but they were still never given any authority to write any of these laws, which does make them unenforceable. |

You answered you own question in that "as congress says it is"... um, have you checked lately to see if they have told the FCC its okay? Last I checked, the courts haven't been too keen to a lot of what the FCC has been doing.
But please, continue on.. we know that some people just love expanded government intrusion into our lives.  |

 fiberguyMy views are my own.Premium join:2005-05-20 kudos:3 | reply to jcremin I agree with what you said.. but it ends when you said "write any of these laws"... only congress can write a law and only a president can sign those bills into law. The FCC can only make a rule,.. there's a big difference there.
Something people also forget is that a governmental body such as the FCC isn't allowed to impose a fine either. Only congress or a court can meddle in those.. yet, for some reason, people continue to let appointed rogue agencies to continue down these roads, and everyone lets them.
The constitution is a fun thing. |
