FTC disses Net Neutrality

The report has no force behind it and has no effect other than to state the view of the FTC. It recommends against legislation to ensure net neutrality preferring to let the market solve the problem.

You know, like the way the market solved problems like poverty.

I’m a huge fan of net neutrality and I’ve seen so much disinformation about a topic which I don’t think is really that complex. I should see if I can’t write something down that makes it clear what the issue is.

The head of the FTC, Deborah Platt Majoras, is a Bush appointee. Her previous career was with the law firm Jones Day protecting big business. Of course, she can do so much more to protect big business as the head of the organization whose job it to protect us against the abuses of big business.
