now last week I told you that the cavalry had arrived on the issue net
neutrality
you need net neutrality to protect the Internet otherwise the internet
providers can start charging different rates for different web sites and really
which is basically eliminate their competition
and anything they didn't like Allen and by slowing it down to the point
where nobody could actually access this is incredibly important
and we were worried it's all the giants like Google Facebook and center on line
with think well maybe that's not such a bad way to kill off our competitions as
we're already in trends and can pay that ransom
but it turns out they did the right thing about a hundred them wrote a
letter
saying no we're for net neutrality and were against these new rules proposed by
Tom wheeler the head of the FCC
that would in effect kill net neutrality so
now is the time magazine article about affects have that
now look is live activism in this and I'm about tell you all about that
and it makes a big difference but as I told you last week
big-money also makes a big difference so
the say in time magazine Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom
wheeler
is scrambling the changes open Internet proposal
I love that it's in quotes it's the exact opposite
open Internet anyway is open in a proposal after a torrent of criticism
trauma Internet giant's startups
venture capitalists public interest groups
and consumers and if you think that
all those rich folks like venture capitalists and those giant
Internet companies didn't have an effect in how Tom wheelers all the sudden
scrambling noon up a national attention to how politics
works in this country so senior FCC official also in says
chairman Wheeler has heard the American people and he has changed item
significantly
to make title to a more robust option proper sudden
had two weeks ago with the american people were limit he didn't hear them
hope in all these giant companies come in with their millions of dollars
all the sudden he hears the American people well as not can be in
that title to is a simple way for the FCC to say
look these guys were in a providers are just like phone providers their common
carriers their utility
and we'll regulate them as such I swear to you in all my years occurring
politics is nothing simpler than I've ever seen
there's no getting pass a republican filibuster in the Senate not that it's
just the FCC Chairman makes a rule change your word
done yet net neutrality forever but
Always Sunny SEQ ID yes I we're gonna be make to do more robust not you know you
don't do anything just have to say their common carriers and you're done
in other words years sank all will go more towards your direction but I
actually want
well that's not going to work so for here comes activism which I love that
she sees
8th floor executive office has been thrown into chaos amid a mounting
backlash
that shut down its phone lines are growing number open Internet advocates
camp-out in from other office I love it
if you're anywhere near their office in Washington DC join the campout
is join these groups that are I raining down phone calls on them
so that's an important part in the Battle both sides matter
get the money and activists now
to the my point time also explains last week more than 100 in their companies
from Google
now the small startup sent a letter to the FCC expressing alarm
or the agency's proposed net neutrality rules imploring regulators to protect
internet openness
trust me that that had a huge effect will you don't have to trust me I told
you would have affected
last week and here it is having an effect now
if you cared about the issues I think Julie Samuels point
a to she actually makes two of them are devastating she's executive director
ventured out because she says look
young high-tech firms have represent all
net new job growth in this country for the last thirty years
so the actually cared about all the things that the Republicans and
Democrats are always talking about job creation got Brigid
what would you do you would protect the Internet you would have net neutrality
but they don't actually care about that they care about how who's paying them up
you don't tell me a little bit guy making these decisions he's the former
chief lobbyist
for the provider as that cable providers in the wireless industry
all courtship whatever rule that would help them and not the american people
one on job creation
jus Samuels makes one more good point startups are often
unable to compete at a skill to overcome negotiate with and manage
thousands have discriminatory carriers and networks
I want to think about that for a second okay because
what a me would have to go through is not only do I have to pay a higher
amount to Verizon or Comcast or whether in a provider is not area
I then have to negotiate with all those providers throughout the country
what small business could possibly do that the legal bills would eat you up
all the procedural things you have to do would kill you even if you want to pay
the ransom
that's how you choke off all competition these people are not capitalist they
hate the free market
their corporate office and the tile really is a guy who work
for as the chief lobbyist for those same corporations
on he's considering more robust title two options my
asi is so that surprise treats me about the last quote here
from time magazine and that is
for nearly a decade they say the FCC has been trying to implement rules
that would ensure that the internet remains open for the next generation of
tech startups like
YouTube Skype and Netflix no
that's the exact opposite a what they've been doing why do you print that
like you're doing the FCC assault like are they've been trying to figure how in
the world could be
du net neutrality boeing is no dispute using a seven-year-old
article you just call them a common carrier
it's done one stroke of the pen they've been trying to figure out how to do it
there's over yet we don't know how you do it you call a common carrier
their utility you're done with it no for the last ten years
the FCC has been trying to figure out how to screw the American people
and get away with it how do I get a prize that we all want to do because
they keep giving donations to our bosses
who put us into this place they give us money when we work for them before we
came to the FCC
they're gonna give a huge amount of money at after we believe they have seen
go to work for them again
how do we give them everything and get away with it
that's what the FCC has been trying to figure out for the last ten years
if they want to figure out how to keep net neutrality it's the easiest thing in
the world
why does the media cover for them just
art I you have to keep up the pressure on
these guys approve sample Free Press is a group that's working really hard on
this
Union more info from them yet involved with them I i have
no worse not raise except that I care a lot about net neutrality
and they're good organization and their one other group
leading the fight in this case it's free press and
I by all means join the fight cuz you need both sides
you can't let him get away with this you can't let them kill the Internet
