The current FCC Chairman is a sock puppet for the CableMafia and working at their direction to reverse all the good accomplished for consumers by the previous enlightened chairman.

Every time something is deregulated, there is an explosion of innovation. I doubt this will be any different.

I suspect the only innovation we're going to see is reduced service, reduced capabilities and higher prices.

Absolutely.

Like how the deregulation of the banking industry caused an explosion of innovative fraudulent practices that nearly destroyed the economy.

Morning,

Seldom is anything of this size ever in the interest of you and I.

As long as we have lobbyists that can purchase government favor there is always a hidden reason for the action.

Sometimes it favors us by default sometimes it doesn't but one thing is certain...someone is looking to make mega bucks.

Any chances of my blood pressure going down for the day just decreased tenfold. I actually feel rather ill now but ty for sharing.

or that the deregulation of the telephone system led to cell phones and wireless internet, or the deregulation of the airline industry led to the creation of affordable flying.
It's better not to cry until there is something to cry about.

Cell phones and the internet came a direct result of the courts and government regulators working to eliminate the Bell a monopoly.

The regulators prevented Bell from participating in regioal phone service, using ant-trade regulation to create a new market from their previous monopoly. 

That is an example of regulation at work, not deregulation. Don't fall for big business propoganda that removing regulations caused this. Enforcing regulations is what caused this.

It is very much in the interest of you and I. Us peons. They're counting on it. 

The 1% controlling the world, your world, my world, everyone's world. This will only increase, but now they will also control your understanding of the world. Us little people make the world go round, the 1% benefit off us all. The 1% will now control what you think because the only information you will be able to find will be bought and paid for.

The FCC repeal of Net Neutrality, pushed thru by the CableMafia, is the modern day equivalent of burning books at your local library.

Always a good motto to hang onto. Esp on eBay!

[sandmansales]

Big business will always come before the American people. I don't know if this country can survive another 3 years of this. G-d help us all.

[ozarkjoe]

but eBay is a big and powerful company so I assume it won't affect traffic to their website, right?

No, luckythewinner, I remember it happening. The gov't regulations gave Bell the monopoly. They busted Bell up when they deregulated the phone system--and there was a flood of innovation. Consider, the first 80 yrs or so of gov't sanctioned Bell monopoly the phone went from operator assisted to dial phones to touch dial--that was it. After deregulations, the phone prices plummeted (I remember people claiming that deregulating the phone system would end up with huge phone bills) and service improved and then the innovations that have led us to this point. Deregulation is a good thing.
