Don’t worry, the dingo has promised to forbear from eating babies.

Without getting too political, my objection to the forbearance process is that
there are duly enacted statutes and regulations that the FCC can, of it's
commissioners volition, choose not to enforce it. Section 10 gives the FCC
the power to "forbear from enforcing statutes and regulations that are no
longer current and necessary in light of changes in the industry".
Changing the law or regulations is a difficult and time consuming process,
often with considerable public input. Choosing to forbear or remove
forbearance is not a long and difficult process, which is my objection. If
Broadband is under Title II and the commissioners decide that rate regulation
of ISP's is 'current and necessary' then rate regulation comes back. The
decision gets made by 3 of the 5 commissioners and other than taking it to the
courts there isn't anything that can be done about it.
The mockery comment was more aimed at the Obamacare 'executive authority' where
the administration just ignores whatever parts of the actual law hat are
politically inconvenient. Congress did undoubtedly give the FCC forbearance
authority, so it's legal, but it's a safe bet that Congress never intended the
authority to include waiving 90% of of an entire section.

It is easy to want to state you want "laissez faire" but image what would
happen if government didn't offer us some protection.
FCC ---licensed links for example. Once license process is done and you
have a legitimate license, you have recourse.. Try getting help on unlicensed
links....
not a political stance...just practical

The forbearance process, changeable at any time for any politically
expedient reason, scares me. It's 'executive authority' all over again and
makes a mockery of the rule of law and the democratic process.

be different if this was proposed legislation, it wouldn't be changeable at the
whim of future FCC commissioners.

>> I just ready yet another article on the so called "net neutrality" the
FCC will be voting on Feb 26th. This government overreach is going to force me
to have to register to collect taxes on all of my customers, which I'll need to
pay someone to do for me to make sure I stay in compliance, which will require
that I raise prices to cover my increased costs.

what they already are. The article I read stated that it will likely pass. If
it does, I think something very "extreme" may need to be done. If in protest
every ISP in the USA shut down their networks either until the law was repealed
or for just a day or two strike I think the government would get the picture,
and if they didn't then the millions of people complaining to them about it
would certainly help.

here, so please don't think I'm being to crazy. I just want the discussion to
begin of what we could really do to stop this.
