    “(this decision) is not compatible with the fundamental concept of free market capitalism” Sounds to me like they’re admitting that free market capitalism is bad for the people.

    I’d say “fuck Ted Cruz” but that’s something nobody should ever do.

    Brendan Carr complained that the order empowers the FCC “to regulate each and every ISP’s network infrastructure deployment, network reliability, network upgrades, network maintenance, customer premise equipment, installation, speeds, capacity, latency, data caps, throttling, pricing, promotional rates, late fees, opportunity for equipment rental, installation time, contract renewal terms, service termination fees,” and more.

    Awesome!

    Of course, given this statement, the one thing we can be sure of about these new rules is that they do not do this.
