[QUOTE="roadrunner2012, post: 1326926, member: 40736"] Please note that Boehner and friends are trying to halt Net Neutrality. They want the ISP's to continue unregulated. For more info, read this from PC Mag: [URL='http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2458063,00.asp'][SIZE=6][B]GOP Wants FCC to Ditch Net Neutrality Rules[/B][/SIZE][/URL] [SIZE=3]Also this:[/SIZE] [SIZE=6][B][URL='http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/05/14/republicans_turn_up_heat_on_fcc_over_net_neutrality_push/'][SIZE=6][B]Republicans turn up heat on FCC over net neutrality push[/B][/SIZE] [/URL][/B][/SIZE][URL='http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/05/14/republicans_turn_up_heat_on_fcc_over_net_neutrality_push/'][SIZE=5][B]GOP leaders say free internet provisions would be "antiquated regulation"[/B][/SIZE][/URL] [SIZE=2]Fair use excerpt: [I][SIZE=4]All four argue that if Wheeler enacts rules which prevent networks from charging services for preferred network access, economic growth in the US would be stifled. "Private sector investment has been a cornerstone of broadband deployment, and imposing expansive network neutrality regulations would only serve to deter investment and stifle one of the brightest spots in our economy," the lawmakers write in their letter. The letter also looks to dissuade Wheeler from invoking provisions in Title II of [URL='http://transition.fcc.gov/Reports/tcom1996.txt']The Telecommunications Act of 1996[/URL] which would reclassify broadband internet as a "common carrier" service subject to blanket non-discrimination requirement[/SIZE][/I][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
