Democrat Controlled FCC Taking Over Internet

Ok. Maybe the new decision to impose "net neutrality" is not a full fledged takeover . . . yet. But it is the camel's nose under the tent.

Although the very recent 3-2 vote to impose FCC's Interpretation of "Net Neutrality" on the nation has been in the news recently, it is not really a new development. The FCC has been belligerently moving toward regulation of the Internet for some time. Back in June, we wrote the story, Rogue FCC Seeks to Regulate the Internet (Jun. 20, 2010).

The new House promises to conduct hearings to stop the FCC regulation. One Circuit Court told them in April they lacked statutory authority to regulate the Internet. See Comcast Corp. v. FCC, No. 08-1291 (Apr. 6, 2010). That federal district court decision didn't stop them. They spit in the court's eye and moved ahead with their liberty squelching regulatory effort.
