Dear @AjitPaiFCC , I noticed your Pyramid of Greatness and thought it felt strange in your office, given your stance. So I went to see Ron Swanson to ask if he'd care to weigh in & he dictated the below to me
"I'm flattered that my pyramid of greatness has inspired you. I will remind you that the top category is Honor. Sadly, based on your duplicitous handling of the net neutrality issue, and the way you are willfully ignoring the public you claim to serve, I feel you may need that term defined. Which means, of course, that you don't have it."

If they change the net here because of the morons running this country and make the net tiered or charge for each thing or cap my data Im simply going to cancel my net service completely. When I do I guess that will force me to give up gaming but Im not going to be reamed by that stupid Ajit Pai at the FCC or the orange turd.
May have been posted within these 17 pages but its good.

You're on Charter right? As part of their merger agreement, they can't impkse data caps for 7 years...well, six more now. So you have that going for you.

Officially dead - I'm pretty sure this is going to end up in a series of court challenges but in the meantime we will have to see how quickly this repeal changes the environment.
The telecoms won't do anything threatening until they're confident that Congress and/or the courts won't act. This really ought to be legislated anyway -- control of the FCC changes hands too frequently.
Oh, and this:
That's the Daily Caller staff there being all hip and ironic with the Harlem Shake (a meme from 200 years ago) as an example of "what you can still do on the internet" after Pai kills Net Neutrality.

No no there will be a Dem wave and they'll take back power. They'll flip back a bunch of the policies. The benchmark state for a stable 1st world nation is constantly shifting policy priorities.
Just looking up my name on that list showed this, right off the bat. See anything that seems a little off (Read details starting with the second entry)?
My first thought was: ok, calm down. This is likely a copy and pasted script coming from an activist site - pretty common for activists to give scripts to use for comments, or messages to leave senators, etc, to be as effective as possible. Then I wondered what non-ISP citizen would be so interested in OPPOSING net neutrality that they would do this? Thanks, Citizens United! I guess it's just Citizens AT&T, TWC, Verizon, et al, doing their free speech thing! Proceed.
I found a lot of my own name, but with different locations. Some were copies and pastes of the same comments. I can't say with certainty that they're not different people sharing my name, but the comments I checked were all against destroying Net Neutrality, not for it.

I had the same thing. My name is not that unique, but I think there were 7 postings and all used the same wording. I can't say that is unusual, though, if there was a form letter circulated by people against Net Neutrality. So curious, in my case, but not conclusive.
Informed Observer: Since that rule was implemented in 2015, Cable companies' infrastructure investments have continued to increase year over year while pledges to not prioritize traffic were commonplace. Since the new rule has passed, both Comcast and Verizon have removed all traces of these pledges.
Proof positive that Trump is rotting the brains of the Republican party. Snowflakes? What decorum for a senator, omg.

That was my thought too.
In PUBG you can run people over with a car. It's very satisfying.
Just another example of the kindergarten philosophy of the modern GOP. If they can't win an argument through logic, they resort to branding. The term "snowflake," rather than being insulting, shows their own ignorance. They can't process complex social issues, so everything has to be turned into meme level vocabulary they can understand. I guess when your President has the brainpower of a hungry toddler, you have no choice but to stoop to his level.
I'd be HAPPY to take an IQ test against Trump. Anytime.
First why is it we allow a former big company lawyer to run a government agency policing big companies? And second why is it ok for this idiot government employee to dress like Santa and play with toys in videos? WTF !????
These people should all be in prison.

FFS Ted. A snowflake is someone who thinks they're special and unique. When you're pigeon-holing someone as overly sensitive, you refer to them as a delicate flower or a buttercup. And if they just have stupid ideas, they're a flake. Period. It has nothing to do with snow. It's no wonder that you're not President, with these weakass randomly selected insults.

Yes, except for the flip back policies. The dumpster fire that the economy will become will be the priority (again).

Also: There are three ways to not tell the truth: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

While I applaud Mark for jabbing a politician that he caught attention from, he could have done so much more with that than throw an insult back. He could have said anything from "On that count, you're wrong. Vader would have squashed Net Neutrality, letting his Empire cronies listen in to every Rebel transmission and creating catastrophic delays in communications that hamstrung their efforts. Net Neutrality would stop the Empire from controlling traffic for their own benefit."

This idea to reclassify smartphone data as broadband was first proposed in August, but with the net neutrality repeal out of the way, the FCC is expected to vote on the proposal by February 3. Currently, the FCC defines broadband connection as 25Mbps download speeds and 3Mbps upload speeds minimum. The new proposal would keep these minimums in place for fixed wireline broadband but also expand the definition to include cell phone data coverage.
To quote one of the greats:
My arm is not long enough for the jerk off motion that is in my soul.
Is the implication that your horrendous situation would qualify as “Super A Terrific Broadband” because there’s a nearby LTE tower?

Exactly. No need to invest in wired infrastructure in rural America because everyone can play Words with Friends on their iPhones. Or apparently download and play the Witcher 3 while three people in my house simultaneously watch two HD movies on Netflix.

A Senate bill that would reverse the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) decision to repeal net neutrality received its 30th co-sponsor on Monday, ensuring it will receive a vote on the Senate floor.
Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) announced her support for the bill on Twitter, putting it over the top of a procedural requirement to bypass committee approval.
The bill, which is being pushed by Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.), would use Congress’s authority under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to reverse the FCC’s rollback of its popular net neutrality rules.
...
Under the CRA, if a joint resolution of disapproval bill has enough support it can bypass committee review and be fast-tracked to a floor vote. If the bill is passed and signed into law, it would vacate the FCC's vote last month and prohibit the agency from ever trying to repeal the rules in the future.

It's a nice gesture, but there is no way it's getting through the House and if it did, there's no way Trump doesn't veto it. Which is sad.
Yeah, but it gets them on record, which is something.
I do not have the words to express the level of disappointment I feel that YK did not post that.
