FCC Approves Sweeping Internet Regulation Plan, Obama Accused of Meddling FCC

(FOX NEWS)—The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday adopted sweeping new regulations sought by President Obama for how Americans use and do business on the Internet, in a party-line vote that is sure to be challenged by the broadband industry.

The commission, following a contentious meeting, voted 3-2 to adopt its so-called net neutrality plan—a proposal that remained secret in the run-up to the final vote.

On its surface, the plan is aimed at barring service providers from creating paid "fast lanes" on the Internet, which consumer advocates and Internet companies worry would edge out cash-strapped startups and smaller Internet-based businesses. Chairman Tom Wheeler said it would ensure an "open, unfettered network."

But the rules, more broadly, would put the Internet in the same regulatory camp as the telephone by classifying it like a public utility, meaning providers like Comcast or Verizon would have to act in the "public interest" when providing a mobile connection to your home or phone.

Republican Commissioner Ajit Pai, who delivered some of the most scathing criticism of the plan Thursday, warned the policy represents a "monumental shift" to "government control of the Internet."

Further, he accused the FCC of bending to the will of Obama, who last fall came out in favor of such a sweeping regulatory plan.

Pai said the FCC was reversing course from past positions for one reason: "President Obama told us to do so."

He warned of a litany of negative consequences, intended or not, from the net neutrality plan. He said it allows rate regulation—and, ultimately, rates will go up and broadband service will slow.

Pai said that while the plan defers a decision on applying a service fee to Internet bills—much like is applied to phone bills—that surely will change.

"The order explicitly opens the door to billions of dollars in new taxes," he said. "Read my lips: More new taxes are coming. It's just a matter of when."

Further, he pointed to slower Internet speeds in Europe, which largely treats the Internet as a public utility, in warning that the additional regulation will lead to less investment and slower speeds in the U.S. as well.

"The Internet is not broken. There is no problem for the government to solve," Pai said.

Fellow Republican member Michael O'Rielly called the plan a "monumental and unlawful power grab."

Republican lawmakers, as well, blasted the proposal as an antiquated solution that would hurt, not help, Internet innovation.

"The Obama Administration needs to get beyond its 1930s rotary-telephone mindset and embrace the future," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement.

While the broadband industry is expected to sue, Republicans in Congress said they will try to pass legislation scrapping the rules, although it's unlikely that such a bill would be signed into law by Obama....

The Imminency of Yet Another Government Power Grab

WRITTEN BY: ANDY WOODS FEBRUARY 25, 2015

And This Time the Internet is at Stake

Our world is about to change for the worse. Tomorrow the three Democrat majority on the FCC will most likely vote to allow the government to regulate the Internet in the same way it regulates broadcast television and telecoms. Such a move will grant to the government the power to regulate the Internet as a public utility. As this happens, the free exchange of ideas that we find on the Internet will eventually become a thing of the past. Our internet accessibility will ultimately resemble more like what is experienced in Venezuela, Cuba, China, or Korea rather than what we have enjoyed since the Internet’s inception. Beyond this, a hidden tax will now be levied via our Broadband provider. This Federal administrative fee will be much like what we see in our monthly phone bill.

This latest government power grab is all part of the fundamental transformation of America that Obama promised when he first ran for President back in 2008. Remember, they took over the healthcare industry in Obama’s first term. In so doing they confiscated one sixth of the American economy through Obamacare. We later discovered that this was something that they felt we needed since we apparently weren’t sophisticated enough to understand the benefits of universal and government-run healthcare. According to Gruber, Obamacare’s architect, the stealth government takeover of the healthcare industry was necessary due to “the stupidity of the American voter.” Notice how these people look at us, with absolute derision and condescension. They also promised that “if you like your doctor you can keep it.” That promise has turned out to be completely and totally fallacious, a lie in other words. Most recently they passed executive amnesty. They did so with no statutory authority.

Now the Internet is within their sights. Sadly, this is all once again being done with virtually no public scrutiny, notification, or national debate. The massive regulations that are about to be imposed by the FCC upon the unsuspecting American people apparently will not be released until after tomorrow’s vote. Thus, this will be yet another case of “we have to pass the legislation before we can find out what is in it.” By the time most Americans wake up and smell the coffee it will likely be too late. Our only hope will be to try to stop the FCC in court. Personally, I don’t have much hope that our judges will stop the FCC given the Supreme Court’s recent decision to uphold Obamacare despite its blatant lack of Constitutionality. While I remain thankful for a courageous lower court Federal District Court judge who recently had the intestinal fortitude to place an injunction on executive and amnesty, it remains unclear how the higher courts will decide or how long this injunction will last.

What we have seen over the last six years is one government power grab after another by our Federal government in general and the executive branch in particular. Given fallen human nature and the government’s seemingly unquenchable lust for power, I really don’t see things changing for the better in the immediate future. Our only real hope is prayer, an authentic spiritual awakening, an alteration in the thinking of the believer whereby they again see themselves as stewards over our republic, and a return to the concept of limited government that is so clearly outlined in our Constitution. Until these things happen, may God have mercy on us.
