President Obama’s aforementioned position seems to essentially sum-up many people’s frustration with his Administration… While he is not directly responsible for the blow to ‘net neutrality, he is a part of a government that seems more-focused on the battle over how the 1% divvy everything up vs. how the other 99% are impacted by this orientation. Granted, it is not all his fault; however, even with public sentiment; intense lobbying efforts (formally organized and grassroots); and, a wide-range of support from various areas of expertise regarding the overall benefit to America that Internet access not be tiered, Big Business seems to have won once again…
In sum, the seeds of the legacy of deregulation and all of the ‘benefits’ that everyone has forgotten when President Reagan pushed to break-up AT&T continues to be reaped via the ineptitude of the nation’s woeful ‘net access speeds, lack of ubiquity, high monthly subscriber costs and last-mile chasm. Stay tiered America, stay tiered.
