This week, I will circulate to the members of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed new rules to preserve the internet as an open platform for innovation and free expression.
Keep your fingers crossed:
Originally, I believed that the FCC could assure internet openness through a determination of “commercial reasonableness” under Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. While a recent court decision seemed to draw a roadmap for using this approach, I became concerned that this relatively new concept might, down the road, be interpreted to mean what is reasonable for commercial interests, not consumers. That is why I am proposing that the FCC use its Title II authority to implement and enforce open internet protections. Using this authority, I am submitting to my colleagues the strongest open internet protections ever proposed by the FCC. These enforceable, bright-line rules will ban paid prioritization, and the blocking and throttling of lawful content and services. I propose to fully apply—for the first time ever—those bright-line rules to mobile broadband. My proposal assures the rights of internet users to go where they want, when they want, and the rights of innovators to introduce new products without asking anyone’s permission.
There are many wikis in the world. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My wiki is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my wiki is useless. Without my wiki, I am useless. I must edit my wiki true. I must edit better than submitters, who are trying to confuse and annoy me. I must edit him before he edits me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my wiki and myself are defenders of my sanity, we are the masters of our wikis, we are the saviors of my sanity. So be it, until there are no more edits, but peace. Amen.
