Hate Monopolies? Then You Should be Pissed About the Abolition of Net Neutrality

I;m against most ideas by the left these days. It's a good gauge

A leader presents legislation and works with Congress to get it passed. You know, the shit you are already calling Trump a failure for but gave Obama an eight year pass on.

This free market type wants market decisions made in the light of day. Not by bought and paid for regulators

If it is such an awesome thing Congress would have passed it if the Leader of the Free World had used his awesome teleprompter skills to sell it to the unwashed

Pai left his Department of Justice post in February 2001 to serve as Associate General Counsel at Verizon Communications Inc., where he handled competition matters, regulatory issues, and counseling of business units on broadband initiatives.[1]

Pai left Verizon in April 2003 and was hired as Deputy Chief Counsel to the United States Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts. He returned to the Department of Justice to serve as Senior Counsel in the Office of Legal Policy in May 2004. He held that position until February 2005, when he was hired as Chief Counsel to the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Property Rights.

Between 2007 and 2011, Pai held several positions in the FCC's Office of General Counsel, serving most prominently as Deputy General Counsel. In this role, he had supervisory responsibility over several dozen lawyers in the Administrative Law Division and worked on a wide variety of regulatory and transactional matters involving the wireless, wireline, cable, Internet, media, and satellite industries.[1] In 2010, Pai was one of 55 individuals nationwide chosen for the 2011 Marshall Memorial Fellowship, a leadership development initiative of the German Marshall Fund of the United States.[1] Pai returned to the private sector in April 2011, working in the Washington, D.C., office of law firm Jenner & Block where he was a partner in the Communications Practice.

Jenner & Block represents telecommunications and media clients in a wide range of litigation in courts across the country. These cases cover the full gamut of issues, including spectrum licenses, media ownership, video programming and media content, intercarrier compensation and Administrative Procedure Act challenges to FCC orders.

If you can't see that this guy is a bought-and-paid for K Street lobbyist then I can't help you.

And the ones that wrote Obama's EO are illiterate losers or from the business?

Get it in the open. Knowing the business is not a disqualifier

We can't all be community organizers

Truth. Battle between folks that want to keep the pipes open, and those who don't. But no GOP bill would make it out of committee (see McConnell is the guy who nominated Pai) and folks on this bored who are against Net Neutrality are doing Comcast's bidding. Why, I have no idea.

Or: The chinfrastructure companies want to maximize their chinvestments. Naturally. The content companies want to distribute for the lowest possible cost. Naturally.
I fail to see heroes and villains in all this.

I stand with AZDuck on this issue. So far at least... Threatening free porn is the last straw. Things are ok as they are. Leave well enough alone.

And as you note, a single politically appointed panel has the power to flip-flop on a major regulatory issue. To me, that disqualifies that body from effective arbitrating "neutrality" of anything.

What EO are you talking about? The FCC classified ISPs as Title II, not Obama.
