Signature needed: FCC insiders now believe our victory is "nearly" inevitable

[dlf]

 

Dlf, Communications Daily—a premier telecom industry trade press read by insiders—just gave net neutrality advocates a headline to cheer about.

“Title II Reclassification of Broadband in Some Form Seen as Nearly Inevitable Move by FCC”

If industry insiders are calling Title II reclassification of internet access “inevitable,” this means we have made huge progress toward a real victory for the open internet, Daily Kos, democracy, and all of us.

Don't take anything for granted—keep the pressure on the FCC. Please, click here to send FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler an email urging him to use Title II authority to classify internet access as an essential communications service. We can win this!!

More from the article:

What FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and his team will propose on net neutrality remains unclear, industry and agency officials said in interviews this week. The officials agree the most likely proposal remains some iteration of Title II reclassification of broadband, possibly based on proposals by Mozilla and Columbia Law School professor Tim Wu, an early proponent of net neutrality.

The story goes on to outline exactly why we need to keep the pressure up—the agency hasn’t finalized its legal argument and they could still go with watered down rules which won’t stand up in court.

Keep up the pressure so we get the strongest Title II-based net neutrality rules possible from the FCC. Sign and send an email to the FCC now.

Keep fighting,

Rachel Colyer

Senior Campaign Director, Daily Kos

P.S. Please help keep Daily Kos strong by chipping in $3.

When you allow people to be re-elected that's what you get, empty promises

No shit.

Woah, thats going a bit far.

How so? I'm in agreement with what he said?

Being negative about a situation that contains good news doesn't help anything. Even if you believe that it won't happen you should still ain for doing your best to make a difference. Inspiring other people to continue to work hard on achieving a goal that we all want is something we should always promote. Cynicism will only hurt the situation more.

Whether or not the end result of this interview is good or bad, it's still GREAT to hear that at least the large amount of effort we have put in to show the FCC what really matters to us. Even the cynical should agree that the FCC even mentioning it is good news.

You're saying in a kind of negative way that the statement he said was unnecessary and unappreciated.

What the hell are you talking about? I use that on a regular basis when I'm in agreement with someone and no one bats an eye.

I didn't take it as negative at all, more of a "obviously, it's sad that people need that to be pointed out to them" statement.

Lol I would run up until I got to the debates, then I'd cuss out every single politician currently alive, tell the people what they're all thinking, drop the microphone, give my opponent the finger, and walk off stage. It'd sound something like this

 

1. we know you bastards don't give a shit

2. we know you only care about getting re-elected so you don't have to contribute to society, can make the rules, and up your own pay

3. we're getting tired of your bullshit

4. we know there are no parties, you're both just liars perpetuating a smoke screen

5. we're slowly getting fed up with your bullshit

*turn to camera*

People, stop voting for these bastards, they don't care about you, or your whiny special interests, look at the broader picture, demand they all step down and never run again, before it's too fucking late

*drops mic, gives finger, walks off stage*

I wasn't trying to be negative, I did send in an email and I would recommend everyone else do so as well, I just don't think they care as much as we think they do, about public opinion. Worth trying yes, worth getting your hopes up? not so much.

We shall see, we shall see indeed, it will end with tears likely but we are humans so he have hope.
