A federal appeals court ruled in favor of comcast over the FCC.
"A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that the Federal Communications Commission lacks the authority to force Internet service providers to keep their networks open to all forms of content, throwing into doubt the agency's status as watchdog of the Web."
"The FCC has long sought to impose rules requiring Internet providers to offer equal treatment to all Web traffic, a concept known as network neutrality. But in a unanimous decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit found that the agency lacked the power to stop cable giant Comcast from slowing traffic to a popular file-sharing site." washingtonpost.com
I believe this is just a preview of the courts favoring corporations over the public interest. Corporations are people now. Pay attention or the corporation will take over the internet and we will pay, oh yes, we will pay.
