"Beyond cutting rules that slow network buildout, we're promoting investment
in next-generation networks with a smarter regulatory approach. I often say
that dumb pipes won't deliver smart cities."
What an idiotic thing to say. Catchy and dumb.
"That's why we reversed the previous Administration's decision to impose 20th
century utility-style regulations on our 21st century networks. In its place,
we have restored the market-based, flexible, lighttouch network approach that
governed the Internet for much of its existence. This framework will protect
a free and open Internet."
What crap. You have applied the 40 year old, non-neutral MVPD model, to US
advanced telecom services. Congratulations. The best possible way to stifle
innovation, giving local monopolies all the power to block ideas and
businesses that they have not thought about on their own. Or that otherwise
won't prostitute themselves to the telecom service provider.
Stubborn, clueless, and crook.
Telecom neutrality mandates were established precsely because the telecoms
(mis)behaved as I described. And lo and behold, it started to happen AGAIN,
ca. 2005, when cable companies, unused to their new telecom status, began
playing the customary MVPD games.
Boot him out of office.
