Bert,
You addressed this to me, but I didn’t write it.
However, in your reply you wrote:
“They had trouble doing so, initially. Remember John? At first, the FCC and
courts thought that the law would not permit blocking phone spam, even if the
users asked that it be blocked. But remember then what happened? Congress
stepped in, and in an uncharacteristic flash, they passed the law to permit
users to request this service, from the telco.”
THAT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG ABOUT NET NEUTRALITY. Have congress
PASS A LAW granting the FCC the authority to regulate net neutrality, not an
FCC commission deciding arbitrarily that they all of the sudden have this
authority, and another commission deciding two years later that they do not.
Thank you for finally getting it.
Cheers,
John

It's not his job to regulate telecom users! Never has been!
Re-reading this, you might say, well then, how would the FCC attempt to block
robocalls, or actually phone spam in general?

The "do not call list" was mobbed with requests, as soon as it became
available. Just like the net neutrality issue, practically everyone wanted it.
And wouldn't you know it, this Chairman also tried to emasculate that ruling.
Just as he is trying to pretend that 4G wireless should pass off as general
purpose broadband. Even with the low data caps.
It's hard to fathom how net neutrality should even be controversial. How can
anybody take any government official seriously, when he openly approves of
broadband providers blocking any user they please? Can't you see government
corruption when it's staring you in the face?
