Google, MS, ect... they support this because they want to open free ISP's and basically put everyone else out of business. That way the G phone, email, blow job machine can track when it's time for you to take a shit.

Basically right now, everyone in America - has open Internet choice, and each we get more options, now with air cars, sat connections.. it's getting bigger and bigger.

The "Free Market" decides who gets to play ball. If one ISP wants to screw with consumers, we can change. If it's bad enough and cross the line.. the law below kicks in for any Company in America.

We have a law:

This is the base law that protects consumers, the most basic level of it, it covers all deals/contracts, price screwing, ect related stuff.

This is the first try, of a law - based on what we already have within the Free Market. It got canned.

What's it do? It puts in regulation on the Internet - which has none. You regulate it a tiny bit - you get a lot later... history people.

This cluster fuck of a law tried to slip a tiny bit of "FCC defined net neutrality" into a overhaul of the Telecommunications Act of 1996....



So the broad meanings of Telecommunications, would govern the Internet. Yeah, really f'in smart.



You either want this to be "free of regulation" or you allow the flood gates to op
