Tech at Night: FCC gets it wrong by pushing an agenda in its 706 Report

Tech at Night

So, the FCC put out another report (the “706 report”) that just pushes an agenda rather than reporting the true facts about high speed Internet in America. Commissioners McDowell and Pai tell it like it is. We’ve also got Broadband for America telling the story. I’m not even worried about the details: the FCC is saying what they feel they must say to justify expanding government.

Behold as CREW, of the tolerant and liberty-minded left, pushes for censorship of Fox as political retribution.

DoJ continues to fight copyright infringement, this time involving Android software. Note: without SOPA this can still be done. Anti-SOPA on the right never was the radical, anarchist, anti-copyright position the leftys were taking on the matter, which is why they lie freely about bills like CISPA, which aren’t like SOPA but would harm copyright infringers.

The Defense Department continues to watch what servicemen say online. Ubergizmo is a site I read, but the commentary there sadly misses the mark, and I suspect their comments reflect a common view online. Troops abroad must be monitored and the rules must be formal. Lives are at stake.

    Excellent column in Forbest today r.e. rural broadband, the FCC’s mis-application of data and the their need (progressive compulsion?) to regulate.

    This entire story is perfectly illustrative of government’s tendency … Like Rush has said, “Government only knows how to expand.”

    The FCC is no different. The fact that they are still needed to regulate the broadcast Industry they want to be in control of any place free speech can occur. That means Cable TV, cell phones and most definitely the internet. In case of a governmental emergency they don’t want the general public to be able to communicate freely. That might hamper the Government from doing whatever it is they are doing.

    For some reason ever since the creation of man there has been a group of people that feel they know best for everyone because it is the way they would do things and they believe everyone should be forced to do things that way. Whew wordy!. This group of people are called many things and in today’s society they are socialist, liberals, fascists, communist etc. Even witht he Success of America right in front of them they still feel that America did it wrong and that they still know better for everyone. It seems to go in cycles and we are unfortunately in a downward cycle of Literalistic ideas again even with the failures of socialism and communism still fresh and right in front of them from the collapse of Russia and the deterioration of Europe. They think tht the Russians just didn’t do it right. They continuously try to compare humans with
    Ants, bee’s and the likes of these colonies of insect where direct order is always in place. what they forget is that even with all the marvels of these insects they can’t evolve any further because of the restrictions on the Hives society. There is not free thinking or creativity allowed. With all of their rules and regulations they even after millions of years still make the beehive the same old way. none of these creatures can cure the sick, put a man on the moon or drive a car. The only way man could do this is because of Freedom. For the millions of years prior to America man lived mostly the same way. It was only during teh mid 1800′s until now that most of the things we have today were created. There have been more things created or done since 1950 than in the prior 100,000 years. I this only happen because of the Free thinking people that created America and the conservative push to always be better and for everyone to have a better life.

    with the election of Obama we begin our journey backwards. Obamacare will eventually stifle the medical world and research wil come to a halt. It wil be very slowly at first but it wil happen. When free thinkers are restricted forward movement of society stops. Liberalism creates this stagnate world by rewarding failure and punishing success. Eventually Dr. that do the research wil stop because of lack of reward and funds. Obamacare is just a very small part of the failure to come from the Liberalization of America.

    It takes generations to overcome the effect of socialism, liberalism etc. The USSR fell over thirty years ago and Russia’s standard of living has improved but is still 30-40 years behind the West. With Puttin back in power and America on a downward spiral Russia may never get caught up. Liberalism, socialism etc. stands for the enslavement of people. the Democrats did it in America with slavery and even though the Republicans freed them they gravitate back to it through the soial programs of the left called entitlements. Biden spoke of putting the chains back on people by the republicans well it is the left that has kept the chains on not just blacks but all minorities.

    I didn’t mean to go so deep into this but that is what happens when My America that i risk my life for is attacked whether from the outside of the inside like it is now.
    The FCC is doing the same as any government agency has to do to survive and that is creating and maintaining a reason to be.
