-By Warner Todd Huston

If you are as worried as I am about the left’s effort to force ever larger amounts of big government onto our lives, then you should be looking into the issue of Net Neutrality.
To that end a few times a week I’ll be posting some links and info
about Net Neutrality to help you all get your feet wet on this
important issue.

Here are just a few of the latest articles on Net Neutrality for your information:

The FCC Again Resumes its Unauthorized Internet Agenda

The Washington Examiner, By Seton Motley

The estimable John Eggerton of Broadcasting & Cable reports: The
(Federal Communications Commission-FCC) is issuing a public notice to
“improve the FCC’s understanding of business broadband needs,” calling
it the “next step” advancing the FCC’s small business broadband agenda.

In the analog world of my youth, inventive marketers sought to
increase the visibility of their enterprises by naming them something
like “AAA widgets,” so that theirs would be the first widget company a
user would encounter in the phone book.

TITLE II, The FCC’s ‘Third Way’ Internet Land Grab is Hardly a ‘Moderate’ Solution

Big Government, by Seton Motley

Former Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Glen Robinson wrote yesterday

the Internet out of its current lightly regulated framework and places
it under the antiquated and oppressive Title II telephone regulatory
regime.

Former FCC Commissioner and MIT Staff Columnist Speak Out Against Net Neutrality

Americans for Tax Reform, by Jenn Cobb

If you were as excited as I to hear of the FCC postponing net
neutrality decisions, heed Glen O. Robinson’s caution for us to rein

Commissioner of the FCC from 1974-1976, deciphers their recent
decisions in his article The Middle Way to Internet Freedom .

Internet.
