Where are the scrubbers and washers with their' Chants of freedom' and their ''Government must stay out of our business'' , now ? . ?

"To get people connected with what I call digital opportunity"... OK, I want to hit him with a bat, perhaps a small spoon until there is only a puddle
He is about a cheesy and insincere as it is possible to get.
I was a contract PM on a major European mobile telephone company's IT rollout and I happened to sit next to the guy who designed their mobile plans and tariffs. Like many I figured they had some evil genius math guys like the banks do who created their bewildering maze of packages to confuse customers and regulators.
Well it turned out that all he did was look at the other companies and copy them, they responded to him and complexity was spawned, the customer never having a satisfying choice unless they paid the maximum. Hopefully this oncoming garbage barge will stay in the US.
The guy who was effortlessly thwarting millions of people from achieving any free market competition satisfaction was called Heinz... reminds me of this

White House threatens to veto Democrat-led net neutrality bill
54
The bill would restore the net neutrality protections put in place in 2015
If the Democrats’ net neutrality bill were to pass through Congress, it’s likely that President Donald Trump would veto it, according to a new statement from the White House today.
It’s not surprising that Trump is expected to veto the Democrat-led net neutrality initiative, but Monday’s statement is one of the first direct comments from the White House on the legislation that is expected to easily pass through the House of Representatives on Tuesday.
The Save the Internet Act, if approved, would restore the original net neutrality regulations that were put in place by the Obama-era Federal Communications Commission in 2015. The bill would essentially repeal the repeal of the rules that the Pai FCC approved in the first year of the Trump administration. That means that if the Democrats get their way, rules prohibiting blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization of internet access would be codified into law, making it more difficult for changing FCC leadership to flip-flop the rules.
“Last year, the FCC returned to the light-touch regulatory scheme that enabled the internet to develop and thrive for nearly two decades by promoting the internet freedom and encouraging network investment,” the White House’s statement read.

Net Neutrality dead. Would like to see "internet censorship" cons trying to defend this. On the plus side, states are welcome to set their own rules. On the negative, there's no guarantee of it being impartial. In other words, Red states are welcome to craft legislation slowing down MSNBC while speeding up FOX, and vice versa.

On Oct. 1, the Washington DC circuit court of appeals rejected arguments to reinstate net neutrality protections repealed last year by the Republican-led US Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Telecom companies will now only be subject to “light-touch” federal regulation and are free to block, slow, or otherwise discriminate against content and services. FCC Chairman and ex-Verizon lawyer Ajit Pai welcomed the ruling (pdf) as a “victory for consumers, broadband deployment, and the free and open Internet.”

Court mostly OKs FCC's net neutrality repeal but lets states craft their own rules
A three-judge panel from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals mostly affirmed FCC Chairman Ajit Pai's 2017 rollback of the net neutrality rules, which required internet service providers to treat web traffic equally. The court also ordered the FCC to do more to address the rollback's effect on public safety and other issues.
The coalition of tech companies, states and advocacy groups that challenged Pai's repeal could still seek to have the D.C. Circuit's full complement of judges rehear the case, or to bring it to the Supreme Court — or both. And the court turning back the FCC's attempt to preemptively override state net neutrality laws removes a major barrier for states like California and Washington that have already passed such measures. That could amount to a de facto restoration of the Obama-era rules in large swaths of the country.
"When the FCC rolled back net neutrality it was on the wrong side of the American people and the wrong side of history," Democratic Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel said in a statement Tuesday. "Today’s court decision shows that the agency also got it wrong on the law. The agency made a mess when it gave broadband providers the power to block websites, throttle services, and censor online content."
But a senior FCC official who discussed the opinion on a call with reporters said the ruling is not a green light for states to pass net neutrality rules because it leaves open the possibility of the FCC challenging them on a case-by-case basis.
Goldstein & Russell partner Kevin Russell, who argued against the FCC's repeal, said the ruling means the FCC has no authority to override state net neutrality rules "in advance and across the board."
"It did leave open the possibility that the commission will be able to try to argue that some state net neutrality rules are preempted," Russell said in a call with reporters. "But they will have to show there’s a conflict between what the state has done and the rules that the commission has enacted, and given that its enacted almost no rules at all, that may be a difficult task."
