I wonder what Adam Sandler thinks about net neutrality? Because comedy.



George Soros has spent $196M lobbying for it, which speaks volumes.



"As an American academic living in Europe, I’m often surprised by the cavalier pronouncements that the EU has more choices, lower costs and faster speeds in broadband and therefore the U.S. should follow the European regulatory model. A number of respected studies show the opposite is true."

"It is unarguable that the U.S. policy approach has incentivized investment more effectively. It seems strange that some argue that we emulate Europe while the EU is in fact abandoning its own model. European Commission VP Neelie Kroes has announced a Digital Single Market initiative to 'burn the red tape,' increase investment and move towards the facilities-based model of the U.S."

"According to the FCC's own "Fact Sheet," the proposed (general conduct) rule will allow the FCC to review (and presumably punish) non-neutral practices that may “harm” consumers or edge providers."

One of the FCC's seven factors on evaluating "harm" is "impact on free expression." What could go wrong?
