Bush's FCC Shuts Down Internet Access
By Jamie Court
" AKA consumer choice. Until today the FCC balked. It's a brilliant political strategy on Bush's part. Just as Rove and the White House are outed on their lies, why not wipe out Internet access for tens of millions of curious Americans? The Evening News will tell them eveything they need to know.
The FCC's reasoning is that DSL is an information service not a telecommunication service subject to regulation. Tell that to millions of Americans who could be booted off line if they don't want to pay their telephone company's price.
I am definitely no Bush fan, but come on:
"It's a brilliant political strategy on Bush's part. Just as Rove and the White House are outed on their lies, why not wipe out Internet access for tens of millions of curious Americans?"
"However, the FCC will require the phone companies to share their high-speed networks for at least one year."
