FCC won't let me Be

I can't believe i am saying this, but the new FCC internet neutrality law is actually a good idea. Julius Genachowski, the new chairman of the FCC has proposed that two new principles added to the Broadband Policy Principles the FCC set forth in 2005. the idea is that internet service providers would no longer have the authority to slow down or block personal web content on personal computers. taking power away from the service providers is a beautiful idea and would surely make browsing the internet easier.

the Four Previous principles are:

"There are four existing broadband principles that would be formalized:

-- Consumers are entitled to access the lawful Internet content of their choice.

-- Consumers are entitled to run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement.

-- Consumers are entitled to connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network.

-- Consumers are entitled to competition among network providers, application and service providers, and content providers."

in my opinion this is a great idea, but then again it is the FCC and in the future it might all go down the drain. so we shall see what will happen with this.
