B-A-A-A-A-AAAD news for the internet

the goddam supreme court... just another bunch of stooges that don't have a clue about what serving the common good means... i'm sure there's dancing in the halls of the executive suites at both comcast and verizon...
A federal appeals court has ruled that the Federal Communications Commission lacks the authority to require broadband providers to give equal treatment to all Internet traffic flowing over their networks.

Tuesday’s ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia is a big victory for the Comcast Corporation, the nation’s largest cable company. It had challenged the FCC’s authority to impose so called “net neutrality” obligations.

It marks a serious setback for the F.C.C., which needs authority to regulate the Internet in order to push ahead with key parts of its national broadband plan.

why is it that corporations in the u.s. get all the breaks and us poor slob private citizens get absolutely none...? who, may i ask, is looking out for us...? no-fucking-body, that's who...
