Wait wait what? What are you responding to? Certainly not Ted Cruz's words. Cruz said "net neutrality is Obamacare for the internet." Where is he talking about classifying the internet as a utility? Cruz wasn't talking about classifying the internet as a utility, he was talking about net neutrality. Seriously. Net neutrality. Look:
You have to be playing a game or purposely lying. Which is it?
President Obama came out and said he wanted the FCC to classify the internet as a utility.
Cruz's opinion piece was a response to that.
You didn't even pay attention to the title of what you provided. :doh
That title was:
"Ted Cruz: Don’t turn Internet access into public utility "
Obviously the Publisher understands what Cruz is speaking to even if readers like you don't.
Yes Mustachio he was speaking to the Obama's idea of classifying it into a utility.
Which further becomes clear as one reads along, as the regulatory issues he speaks to come about by classifying it as a utility.
And one of the biggest regulatory threats to the Internet is “net neutrality.”
In short, net neutrality is Obamacare for the Internet. It would put the government in charge of determining Internet pricing, terms of service and what types of products and services can be delivered, leading to fewer choices, fewer opportunities and higher prices.
President Obama this week came out aggressively for net neutrality and turning the Internet into a public utility. Some in the online community have embraced this call, thinking that cheaper prices would result. But when has that worked? Government-regulated utilities invariably destroy innovation and freedom. Which is more innovative, the U.S. Postal Service or Facebook and Twitter? Which is better for consumers, city taxi commissions or Uber and Lyft?
I read the whole editorial. Read it in context. I have no idea why you assumed that you knew what he was talking about, but you clearly don't have any idea what he's talking about and he doesn't even know what he's talking about.
:naughty
You may have read it but you certainly didn't understand it or the context, as he certainly was addressing the President's idea of classifying it as a utility.
All you have done is shown that you have no idea as to what he speaks.
But what we do know is that he was talking about net neutrality. You get it? We talking bout net neutrality. Not a game. Net neutrality.
You must be playing a game as this is just more nonsense from you.
Cruz's position on actual neutrality was stated in the second paragraph.
In the past, such a person would have to know the right people and raise substantial start-up capital to get a brick-and-mortar store running. Not anymore. The Internet is the great equalizer when it comes to jobs and opportunity. We should make a commitment, right now, to keep it that way.
Everything else is in opposition to the Presidents idea of classifying it as a utility. And it is hyperpartisian hacks that can't see either of those.
It is Obama who is not speaking to actual neutrality, but lying to the public again.
