[Elecraft] [Bulk] OT: Verizon's response to Net Neutrality: in Morse code!!

[Cliff Frescura]

*Netflix* got what they wanted.  They had better lobbyists and took a
dispute between them and Comcast, expanded the scope to include the entire
internet, and then got the .gov on their side.

Look at the last set of "Net Neutrality" regulations from the FCC - the ones
that the industry had over turned on the grounds that the Commission did not
have the authority to adopt them because "Broadband was not a utility".

Seems to me the industry got what they wanted <G> forced the Commission to
reclassify "Information Service" as "Communications Utility."  Voice and
cable have been regulated as utilities for a very long time - who in their
right mind would consider broadband data delivered on the very same networks
to be anything other than a utility for the very reasons that voice and
cable are utilities?
