The FCC is Expected to Propose the Return of Net Neutrality Protections Oct 19th (www.eff.org)

Network neutrality is the idea that internet service providers (ISPs) should treat all data that travels over their networks fairly, without discrimination in favor of particular apps, sites or services

The FCC will meet on October 19th to vote on proposing Title II reclassification that would support accompanying net neutrality protections

Wait, Net Neutrality was removed?

Yeah, and the media is owned by comcast and AT&T.

Did you know that AT&T bought time warner?

And Disney bought Fox.

So of course none of the media outlet covered that happening...because they're owned by the people who benefit from net neutrality being gone.

Sticky olde' Ajit creamPai likes to get his special treatment from the telecom companies that paid bribes to get him into his position. I just hope that his replacement is as good as Tom Wheeler was.
