Investors.com<\/a> posted an article yesterday about the move to adopt ‘net neutrality<\/a>.’<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The Federal Communications Commission<\/a>, which wants to regulate the Internet<\/a> heavily to make it more “open,” is refusing to let the public see its proposed rules before the commissioners vote on them in two weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps it’s because, while talking publicly in reassuring tones about how the FCC merely wants to secure “net neutrality,” it’s planning to do much, much more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That, at least, is what Ajit Pai<\/a>, one of the FCC’s two Republican commissioners, is claiming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He says FCC Chairman<\/a> Tom Wheeler has a “secret plan to regulate the Internet” that “opens the door to billions of dollars in new taxes” on broadband services.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I have studied the 332-page plan in detail, and it is worse than I imagined,” he said, adding that “the public has a right to know what its government is doing, particularly when it comes to something as important as Internet regulation<\/a>.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you support the move to regulate the internet or not, it is telling that the FCC is unwilling to release the details of what they plan to do in advance. This sounds like ObamaCare<\/a> all over again–they have to pass the bill so that we can find out what is in it.<\/p>\n
