NY AG probing ‘massive scheme’ to influence FCC with f**e net neutrality comments
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) is investigating what he calls a
massive scheme to corrupt the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with
f**e public comments on net neutrality.
In an open letter to Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai,
Schneiderman said the agency hasn't provided him with information "critical"
to an investigation his office is conducting.
Schneiderman said in a tweet his office has been investigating a "massive scheme"
over the last six months to "corrupt the FCC's comment process on net neutrality by
impersonating 100,000s of real Americans.

ROTFLOLOLOL, The NYS AG has absolutely no authority or power to request anything from the FCC, and he knows it, this is all just noise for the Dem useful i***ts to banter about.
Figures you'd be for the Big ISPs to grab net neutrality away from the American people.

LOL, your "net neutrality" gave the ISPs just that in a monopoly, it didn't preserve anything, why do you think the US currently enjoys some of the worst broadband speeds and stability in the developed world? One reason is because that bad rule pretty much made the entry price too steep for competitiors to come to market. The FCC is keeping one of the very few good parts of that rule though, ISPs will still be required to disclose all throttling.
You so on the wrong side of everything always.

Hopefully if it goes, you'll be the first to pay more for 'Premium' internet speeds...
jackass-
May your rates go up while your bandwidth goes down.
As you cruise the 'net be mindful of how your message got from here to there. The communication channels are phone lines, cable lines, fiber lines, satellite lines, radio lines, and in combination thereof. Not all satillites are owned by the government, some are privately held, some owned by foreign entities. Cable and fiber lines are all privately held, though some towns may have built there own. We all are customers of some ISP. In my case I have a fiber line and my ISP owns that line. Those who recall the history of the Internet might remember it father, the ARPANET (advanced research projects network of the dept of def). That FCC can regulate any part of the Internet beyond the connections provided by phone land lines depends on specific legislation by Congress. (I am uninformed here. The current issue seems to relate to some entity to have the right to throttle Internet traffic. Here is an idea. What if a Canadian consortium to put up a battery of satellites and offer services to anyone with range of their satellies - by what power could FCC make illegal for any US ISP company to mount a radio t***sceiver and use that radio frequency. The FCC gained its power from the Congressional acts that created the AT&T monopoly - as we all are aware their customers are fading away - our white pages used to be 3 inches thick, our last one some years ago was less than 1/2 inch thick. One of the best arguments to block FCC from controlling the Internet is that would widen the door crack to regulating cell phone networks. Next time you open an email on your computer go into the mail settings to show the 'long header' there you will see the identity of every server the message passed through (it will be a quatro number, 4 sets of 3 digits).
