There's one thing Republicans and Democrats can agree on: taking money from Comcast

[Derangel]

I know they can put a stop to it but will they? Their decisions and reactions have been pretty apathetic and give the appearance of only lip service: they did allow the Netflix thing to get fairly out of hand so far. I'm just saying that I wouldn't trust the FCC to come to the rescue of the Americans, at most you can expect them to do too little too late.

 

The FCC couldn't do anything about the Netflix thing. They never had the power to enforce net neutrality sadly. They are working on rewording the guidelines for it to fall within the limits of their power. I hope they stop it but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it passed and we find out a few months later that somehow one of the people involved suddenly has a very well paying job at Comcast. That is how Comcast got NBC after all.
