suddenly changing tune.


Those silly kool aid drinkers!




Liberals and progressives supporting the Federal Communications Commission’s 3-2 approval of “Net neutrality,” the U.S. government’s game plan for an open and fair Internet atmosphere, now suddenly find themselves on the other side of the fence, upset at learning: Hey, this deal isn’t so advanced after all.



In short: Net neutrality advocates said they envisioned an Internet world free of discrimination. But what’s been revealed with this just-passed plan is a general conduct rule that critics say will stifle free expression by giving the bureaucratic FCC the right to decide the standards and even content.

What’s ever more interesting, though, is that many who supported Net neutrality just days ago are now finding the rule unpalatable.

The Progressive Policy Institute, for instance, said in a statement reported by the Wall Street Journal: “There is nothing progressive about the FCC backsliding to common carrier rules dating back to the 1930s.”

And the Internet Society, an organization that staunchly supported the idea behind Net neutrality, expressed opposition to the emerging plan details with even blunter language.

“We are concerned with the FCC’s decision to base new rules for the modern Internet on decades-old telephone regulations designed for a very different technological era.”

Apparently, the administration has turned a deaf ear to dissension, though.
