Quote:You do realize that they already do what the article states they are going to do?

 

"The FCC sets the size of the fund, and the size has been increasing almost every year as the focus has shifted from providing phone service to providing Internet access to those without it. The fund has grown about 47% since 2004.

In December, the agency approved a $1.5-billion annual increase in the amount the fund can spend to help boost high-speed online services for schools and libraries under the E-rate program."

 

For you to go on about context you sure aren't reading any. Here's your context: net neutrality is opening a new revenue stream by allowing the government to tax internet service using an already existing and rapidly expanding regulatory fund.

 

If you believe that lawmakers will see this revenue stream and fail to capitalize on it then you aren't paying attention. And that's any law makers, quit going on about the Democrats, the others are just as likely to use it. That's why keeping the Feds entirely out of such things is so important, because they ALL take advantage of the citizenry.

If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already.
