Looks Like Ted Cruz Knows What He’s Talking About With Net Neutrality

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Down the toilet we continue.

The White House dropped a bombshell on Thursday by announcing that FCC already has the authority to take over regulating and taxing the Internet without Congressional approval.

Under “network neutrality” proceedings, the FCC could extend its 16.1% fee on interstate telecommunications services and relay fees to the Internet. The action would more than double the “universal service” revenue it collected in 2014, from $8 billion to $16 billion.

Although Congress has mandated the general nature of the federal universal service fund and telecommunications relay services, it is the FCC that has the sole authority to set the budget size and the fee structure to perform its regulatory mandate.

The FCC last year announced an ambitious multi-billion program to connect schools and libraries with Wi-Fi. Other advocates are also seeking expansion of low-income subsidies for the “Obamaphone” to include Internet access programs.

But the FCC had not moved forward on its social agenda due to a perceived lack of congressional jurisdiction, and due to the need for a significant revenue source to defray the huge costs.
