Net Neutrality Going To Be Passed, But Not Really

by Jack Stuef  

The FCC is set to pass net neutrality, so the evil Internet companies will not be able to make some of your Internet better than some of your other Internet. But:

The rules, however, would allow wireless companies more latitude in putting limits on access to services and applications.

And also another guy says:

The rule is so riddled with loopholes that it’s become clear that this FCC chairman crafted it with the sole purpose of winning the endorsement of AT&T and cable lobbyists, and not defending the interests of the tens of millions of Internet users.

Well what else would you do with the internet?

elviouslyqueer December 21, 2010 at 12:47 pm

Yes, but only Comcast-approved porn. Which means lots and lots and LOTS of nekkid Mike Huckabee pics. Enjoy!

"The FCC chairman crafted it with the sole purpose of winning the endorsement of AT&T and cable lobbyists, and not defending the interests of the tens of millions of Internet users."

Hey, who's paying for this government, anyway.

AT&T does a great job in providing service for a high-tech phone that can do just about anything except make or receive calls.

But, we have to admit, the design is breathtaking, simple and elegant.

Obama wants to give the internet back to the electrons.

Great! I'll be getting spam about charge cards, how to make my Planck's Constant bigger, ways to be more attractive to the opposite polarity. Plus Viagra ads.

Net neutrality….why don't they call it what it is…fuck the consumers in the ass!

elviouslyqueer December 21, 2010 at 12:48 pm

With sandpaper and no lube, also.

ShaveTheWhales December 22, 2010 at 1:16 am

Not catchy enough.

All Internet users will be treated equally, but some users will be treated more equally than others.

CapeClod December 21, 2010 at 12:28 pm

Well, if money is speech, this just proves that people with more money get to speak louder

Admit it: you're really Mitch McConnell.

SwattieSwat December 21, 2010 at 1:58 pm

Mitch McConnell is the biggest Wonkette fangirl I know.

MLHencken December 21, 2010 at 2:28 pm

(literally) right behind ol' Ham Biscuits!

horsedreamer_1 December 21, 2010 at 1:05 pm

Tubal ligation.

In 5 years our beloved Wonkette will be a mimeographed tri-fold you read then sniff deeply before scribbling your comments at the bottom* and passing it on to a friend in the next cubicle.

*Note: it's important to sniff the mimeograph chemicals before writing your comments.

Divad, I just fucking swooned remembering the scent.

gullywompr December 21, 2010 at 2:13 pm

As long as I still get my tweets from Sister Sarah, otherwise meh.

MLHencken December 21, 2010 at 2:30 pm

Can we please find a way to amend Net Neutrality in order to downthrottle snowbilly's access to the internet? Or at least put her Twitter feed in some sort of walled garden?

Damn, I wish Inception were real.

LionelHutzEsq December 21, 2010 at 3:02 pm

Fuck net neutrality. I want full on net aggression!

ttommyunger December 21, 2010 at 8:19 pm

You know, I'm so glad to have Colin Powell's pudgy dickhead kid out of the job, I frankly don't care what this present crew does.
