Three Days

Yeah, just three more and I'm off the rest of the year.

Haven't got a ton to report this morning at all other than watch what the FCC does soon. The LAST thing anyone needs is the FCC involved with internet regulation, a power Congress has NOT given them.

They are going to unilaterally regulate the net, something no government should do. This is a free market entity and should remain free from any government regulation at all. There is a fear that providers will start charging for websites or premium access to websites. Perhaps they are even the only option you have for web access.

Simple fact, you can always find what you are looking for elsewhere. Freedom is the hallmark of the net, freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom from restrictions and regulations.

Here is another simple fact, once any kind of regulation is applied to something by a government agency, no matter how well meaning it is or small, it grows and grows like cancer until it's weighty and oppressing. If you think this is good, no problem but what is going to happen is that some administration will come along and use these rules to destroy what we enjoy now.

I'm all for better service at a better price but I don't trust government to regulate that to happen.
