The voting members were 5. Three democrats and two Republicans. Republicans wanted the public to see the regs before the vote. The democrats didn't. And if you think Comcast are secret Republicans and MSNBC is just a fake out, I can only conclude that you're intentionally blind about their collution.
Comcast makes

Comcast didn't lose anything! Read this article to have an idea of how much Comcast and the Democrats are one. Or just watch their news channels (MSNBC).

That's my point! This does not hurt Comcast, since Comcast and government are one! And you misunderstand me about the FCC. They don't have the power to tax, but the Democrats do. And so do the Republicans. They all benefit, except us, the consumers. These 322 pages of regulations greatly expand the power of the

You are right, many have certainly argued that it should be treated like a utility, and now they got their wish. Let's see who they'll blame when we all start getting $200 Internet bills.

Turning the Internet into a utility gives the gov. the power to tax it, and Comcast and others, an easier way to charge consumers by the usage. As I said in another reply, when was the

Verizon pretends they are really opposed to this. They were the ones who threatened to throttle Netflix and others. Immediately, their friends in the government sprung to action to fix a problem that hadn't even happened yet. So now the Internet will be a government regulated utility. Which means 1) it will be taxed,

I'm dazzled by your rethorical brilliance.

Its hard to go against a herd mentality. People think they are fighting big bad business by handing over control of the Internet to the government. Who do you think funds all those politicians and beaurocrats?

Except it's true. Another gigantic law that had to be passed to find out what's in it. And it gives the government power over the Internet with the pretense of helping consumers. In other words, another Obamacare.
