Those who do good, do...
will the FCC ever learn to never take on the free internet like this?

EDIT: I think I just made a mistake there, but either way, the group that aim to keep the internet the way it is, that's the team I'm on.

We may have won this round, but now we have to face the ultimate enemy: Congress.

Eventually, they have to realize trying to control the internet isn't worth their time. But, they probably never will. =/

I watched part of the hearing. Tom Wheeler for the epic win. He now understands us. After all, 4 million people (of which I was a part of) can't be ignored THAT easily :)

Why in the hell did the cable companies want the internet anyway? What have they got to gain from it?

They wanted to change the Internet into "Cable TV 2.0." They wanted to divide the Internet into a "fast lane," (people get to surf the net as though nothing had happened as long as they "pay to play,") and for the rest that can't pay, they have to go through an Internet "slow lane," which should be pretty much self explanatory.

In the words of Billy Mays, "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! " in addition to that, we were going to be charged for content that we want to see on the net. This makes it harder for websites to make money, let alone even start a website.

What we did was that we banned this kind of thing. It isn't going to be implemented for another couple of months, give or take but we beat them nonetheless.

In terms of what they would gain from this, probably more money for them.
