Finally, some good news. All that talk about da Gooberment taking over the Internet may very well be just a bunch of silly hogwash. Da FCC dey make-um heap big smoke … but, dey no have fire!
==========================================
The FCC Is Toothless and Feckless
The Federal Communications Commission is yesterday’s regulatory system. It is bureaucratic. It is slow. Think of it as a dial-up modem.
Any time that you read that the FCC is about to take over the Internet, keep things in perspective. Click this:
[Stucky Note: When I started working for HP, a 4800baud modem cost FOUR THOUSAND dollars. Hey hey. About 12 years ago I was selling T1-lines (a dedicated circuit that connects to the internet with a speed of 1.544 Mbps. ) for $2,500 …. per month! ….. and that didn’t include a special T1 router or T1 card to transform the signal into a usable Ethernet port. What does a 50Mb cable line cost these days? $80 / month?]
