It's a good thing the other guy had a spare to share

Yes that is Rules for Radicals #5, but why not #4? [RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)] Having failed twice in the courts with this, Soros money is used to flood the zone early with tens of thousands of FCC comments. The conservative side is a little slow getting out of the gate, but they have sent 102,922 "Just say NO!" emails I have zero love for Verizon, but there is no shortage of facts why government control is a bad idea.

Since my customary farewell would appear oddly self-serving, I shall simply say good luck!

I have read Slashdot almost every day for 14 years, but never felt the urge to post a word, until now. I teethed on a 4k PDP-8e, wire wrapped my first PC, and today am happy just struggling with .NET. But really, when Google can comment on the text before the rest of America gets to see it, it's pretty sad. As a radio amateur I understand the need for spectrum allocation, but Internet bandwidth is not finite. Having failed previously in the courts this is just another way to achieve the same control. The proper way to handle this is through congress. Given the lobbying that goes on, maybe that is impossible, but an Executive decision is not closer to the will of the people either.
