VERIZON - "FCC’s ‘Throwback Thursday’ Move Imposes 1930s Rules on the Internet"

awesomes8wc3

Verizon is pissed. Article written in morse code, a link avaliable for "readers in the 21st century" which is basically them winging over the new Title II rules.

Now, you see, this is the kind of childish lobby group rhetoric that really turns me off listening to anything they say.  Because they choose to be so petulant in their response, anything they had to say that might have been worth hearing is now lost.    When I refer to the erroneous and dangerous nature of career lobbyists, this is what I am referring to.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.

And this is why I think the Telco's over here are the lesser evil (though they still overcharge the shit out of their services).

Real morse code takes the form of long and short sound pulses anyway, not dots and dashes. Should have provided a sound file.

I cant feel sorry for companies that get a large some of money from the government to upgrade their infrastructure but then decide to upgrade it only a little and keep the rest of the money. (Looking right at you Verizon with your FIOS). I cant feel sorry for companies that make shady back room deals to prevent municipalities from competing with them. Did they honestly think they were going to get away with this forever? And so what that the law is from the 1930's !?!? The Constitution is much older and is still relevant even today! These weak arguments show how much of a leg they have to stand on, and they know it.

There is so much butthurt in that statement. They are such cry babies. The fact that they put it into morse code and made the statement seem like it was from 1934 is super unprofessional and is something that I would expect a comedy news organization like the onion or the daily show to do, not a major ISP. They are almost trying to insult the FCC and bully them like they have in the past. Well, at least they aren't going to be able to get this overturned.

Burn in hell, Verizon. Out of the 2 CDMA carriers, which is bad already, you're the worst. You load your phones with bloatware, lock the bootloader and prevent customers from unlocking the bootloader. If somebody wants to void their warranty, you should warn them, but let them do it. Not block them from doing it. And now this? Seriously, Verizon. Go die in a fire.

Have you ever been so pissed you wrote a letter in Morse Code?

 

I mean I get what they're trying to say with that but... honestly it just looks childish to me.

These guys had years to bring their services up to modern standards and provide competitive solutions for all of America. They didn't. Congress had plenty of time to figure it out too and force change. They didn't. Now everyone is getting pissy that the FCC went ahead and put their balls in a vice. A vice that shouldn't even need to exist but since corporations will be corporations, had to be done. 

The only real opposition I've heard towards NN has been "DAE OBAMANET?!?!" and "DAE FCC CONTROLS MY INTERNETS?!?!". All fear mongering views peddled by congressional members who have upcoming election campaigns funded by the ISPs and their lobbyist groups.
