More on Net Neutrality.

I've tried to lay out my reasons why net neutrality is such a bad idea and didn't do a good job.  Fortunately others are up to the task.  Check out this article..but here's a tidbit..

Internet Taxes Could Happen. Harold Furchtgott-Roth of Forbes writes that by making the internet subject to the strictures of the interstate telecommunications industry, the FCC could impose fees on internet service:
By classifying broadband access services as “interstate telecommunications services,” those services would suddenly become required to pay FCC fees.  At the current 16.1% fee structure, it would be perhaps the largest, one-time tax increase on the Internet. 

I personally believe that this is what its really all about.  Think back.  First the president laid out a plan hope for "internet for all"....then he started talking about net neutrality out of the blue.  Next thing you know, before we could even debate it the FCC votes on it.

With everything on the Presidents plate...ISIS, Ukraine, Ebola, Immigration, Deficits, Defense, Healthcare, Unemployment...the list goes on...suddenly we get hit out of the blue with net neutrality being the burning issue of the day?

It doesn't make sense.

SIDENOTE:  I continue to marvel at all the "tech geeks" that argue that this has been a long time in the making.  NO IT HASN'T.  It might have been a focus in your corner of the universe but for the general public this was on no ones radar.  I'm also surprised at how tech geeks that generally are against govt interference suddenly believing that having bureaucratic slime dripping over the internet will be a good thing!  My point?  Spare me your moralizing, your so called facts and your opinion.  I know better.  If govt gets involved things get fucked up.
