FCC Votes 3-2 to Regulate Internet via Net Neutrality

The FCC has voted 3-2 along political lines to extend the government’s reach and regulate the internet via net neutrality.

The vote to institute net neutrality rules marks the first time the government has stepped into the world of internet regulation. Proponent’s of the net neutrality rules say that the move allows the government to stop companies from controlling too much of the internet, while opponents view it as a scary example of government control and an impediment of private business.

“As we stand here now, the freedom and openness of the Internet are unprotected… . That will change once we vote to approve this strong and balanced order,” FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said at a commission meeting on Tuesday, according to The Hill.

The paper says the new rules “create new transparency standards for wired and wireless carriers,“ while also preventing ”wired carriers from blocking lawful applications and services.” For example, “wireless carriers are prohibited from blocking websites as well as applications that compete with their services.”

The rules have drawn criticism from both sides of the aisle, with Republicans arguing that it marks too much government oversight, and Democrats saying that rules don’t go far enough. Instead, Democrat commissioners wanted stronger rules for wireless companies, but said they would settle for today’s new rules.

But the move enraged the commission’s Republican members.

“The FCC is not Congress. We cannot make laws,” said Republican Commission Robert McDowell, describing Tuesday as “one of the darkest days in FCC history.” He also suggested that new rules may be in for a court battle.

“The era of Internet regulatory arbitrage has dawned,” he said.

Fellow Republican Commissioner Meredith Baker accused the chairman of smarmy political and manipulative tactics to pass the order, saying she only received her a copy of the proposal in the late hours of last night.

“I think we can all do better and let’s do so in the New Year,” she said.

Baker also questioned why the FCC rushed to vote on the rules as the Christmas holiday approaches. “I keep returning to what should be a threshold question,” she wrote in an op-ed in the Washington Post on Tuesday. “Why does the FCC plan to intervene in a rushed manner, days before the year’s end, in the one sector of the economy that is working so well to create consumer choice, jobs and entrepreneurial opportunity? Until we can answer that, I hope my colleagues will stand down and allow Congress to take the lead on these issues.”

In an op-ed this morning on RealClearPolitics.com, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) called the move a “vampire-like“ leap on the ”next great sector of American life,“ and said those who want to regulate the internet are trying to ”suck it dry in the name of ‘public interest,‘ ’fair play,’ or any other euphemistic glamour the Executive and Legislative branches can be lulled into.”

“This may sound like a Halloween tale,” she wrote, “but the FCC‘s Christmas Week takeover of the Internet is the best example of President Reagan’s maxim that the nearest thing to eternal life on Earth is a federal program.

This is a breaking story. Updates may be added.

    The FCC was one reason I voted against Obama. We all knew what would happen with it under a progressive administration. We’re also in trouble with the Supreme Court. This was all planned and well thought out. America is in deep trouble, and I just can’t get over how many folks are still oblivious to what is happening.

      Too many are just happily clueless. Our country is in grave danger but those people, I think, just can’t get their head around the fact an American president is not on their side. But, sadly, he is a clear and present danger to our liberty and freedoms. Now, the feds want to monitor high powered rifle sales along the US/Mexico border. If you buy more than two in a week, gun store owners are to report you. But the odd thing is, its just for 180 days. So do they know something we don’t by imposing the 180 day rule? Get ready, folks, it’s coming.

      @PITMASTER,

      This is just another attempt at destroying the 2nd Amendment, the BATFE doing their intended job as it were. They have had the “Two or more Handguns rule” since the Brady Bill was passed, but not for long guns, no crime statistics to base it on. So now they want to “Borrow” the Mexican Revolution that has started as an “Excuse” to include ALL other firearms in their defacto REGISTRATION scheme. The 180 days only for Border States is a trial balloon to test the reaction by gunowners and if they can get it as a “Temporary” rule, it won’t take long to make it “Permanent” and in all 50 States. It also serves to get their “Stats” up, by shifting the “Suspect Pool” over to law abiding U.S. Citizens and dealers that can be entraped and prosecuted for whatever “Gun Crimes” they can invent to fit their intended target victims.

      AND, the Gun Gestapo is now on urgent high alert for “Rifles” being bought in this country caused by the current Political Climate their Communist Masters have brought about. The “Cat” is now out of the “Bag” on the Communists, and they are all too keenly aware that a S**t Storm is brewing. Look for a spate of “Right Wing Militia” cases to suddenly appear based on Intel they have gathered using this new “Law Enforcement Tool”.

      Here in Texas, this whole thing is one big joke. Billions of dollars in Drugs, Guns, People, and EVERYTHING ELSE you can imagine, crosses the “Border” daily without any knowlege whatsoever of the “Authorities”. Been that way forever, won’t change anytime soon. The BATFE has less chance than a snowball in hell, of making even a slight difference in that, and they know it. Even funnier, is the reality that so many millions of guns, and billions of rounds of ammunition, have already been bought in Texas since the Shoe Shine Boy took over, not many folks really need anymore now. Not to mention the “Cottage Industry” of folks capable of manufacturing firearms that has sprung up. It’s like the old story about the Palestian that worked for a Jewish Sewing Machine Manufacturer in Israel. Seems that his wife really wanted a sewing machine, but they couldn’t afford one. So the Palestian stole one part a day for sometime. But everytime he tried to assemble it, all he ended up with was a sub machine gun.

      “Unless you haven’t been paying attention the last oh few decades…..our government does not know how to run anything.”

      The past few decades, the government has been enforcing net neutrality. So, you tell me – has the Internet been a bastion of free ideas, or limited access and controlled content during this time?

      “Read the article ‘The FCC has voted 3-2 along political lines to extend the government’s reach…’ What do you think that means?”

      Considering the primary opposition to net neutrality is the telecommunications industry and ISPs who have openly announced their wishes to control content, I would say that means Republicans tend to support corporate interests over individual ones.

      “If the private companies want to control the resources they bought and paid for, that is the company’s choice.. I have the choice of another provider…”

      Which would be true, were it not for the fact that literally every provider intends to control access this way because it will make them money. Any websites that can pay up get preferential treatment, those that can’t get left in the dust.

      You can’t choose another provider if all the providers are doing it.

      @termlimitsnow There is a very big difference. Prime real estate has value because its location (visibility, ease of access of customers, proximity to other businesses that draw customers, etc) is a natural function of its place in the real world. No matter what you do some places will be easier to get to than other. The internet, on the other hand, is a level playing field. Every address is as easy to get to as any other. Corporations would like to create artificial barriers (market distortions) create advantage for some who pay and disadvantages others. If is as if some companies were able to create “prime real estate” by putting up barriers and tearing up roads. They would like to take away your freedom to visit whatever sites you choose (such as this one) by making harder or more frustrating to visit sites that the provider doesn’t like.
      These regulations are about preserving the level playing field for both ideas and business. The don’t allow government to control content. The prevent corporations from controlling content. The preserves our freedoms by preserving an open market place. The alternative is to allow a few corporations to create a distorted self-serving controlled market.
      Most people on this site have clearly not read the regs or have any understanding of what net-neutrality is or why it is important to our freedoms. The press release describing the regs in available on the fcc website: http://www.fcc.gov. At least have an informed opinion rather than just an opnion.

    THE BUREAUCRACY:

    When the Bureaucrat replaces the “free market” with a regulation, we all lose. Every regulation gives a political crony a windfall at the expense of the general population. Printing money is not the only cause of inflation!

    If you believe that the tyrants act in the best interest of the individual, consider the following quote:

    “If the government is to tell big business men how to run their business, then don’t you see that big business men have to get closer to the government even than they are now? Don’t you see that they must capture the government, in order not to be restrained too much by it? Must capture the government? They have already captured it.”

    The quote is from an early wannabe tyrant, Woodrow Wilson in 1913. Since then each encroachment on our individual liberty has caused problems that have been used to justify more tyranny.

    Rules and regulations created and enforced by the “Fourth Branch of Government” (the bureaucracy) that restrict innovation, inhibit the creation of wealth and provide advantages to the “technologically challenged” are the root cause of our problems. Inflation, credit and failure of financial institutions are just the symptoms, an attempt to cover up the failure of “disastrous centralized planning.”

    Money manipulation is simply a method of misappropriation of wealth. Wealth must be created before it can be misappropriated and the Bureaucracy inhibits the creation of wealth.

    Our problems started when the bureaucracy obtained significant power during Roosevelt’s (T) Administration. About 10 years later the Fed Was created and it’s been downhill every since.

    Chapter 8 (The Bureaucracy – ICC) of “21st Century Common Sense” addresses this point in detail, including a description of the “Iron Triangle” (control of the bureaucracy by special interest) and an enlighten quote by Woodrow Wilson highlighting the capture of the Bureaucracy by “special interest.”

    Net neutrality is how the Internet has always been run since its inception. This does not allow for a government takeover. This does not allow the government to control access to content. The literal purpose of net neutrality is to prevent ANYONE from controlling access to content. Please do not buy into the hyperbole.

      On this issue I agree with you on this issue. Sometimes us conservatives get a little caught up in core principles and don’t look at what is really happening. This legislation does not give the government control, it just makes it so the internet providers can not favor certain content. What makes matters worse, there is really no way for the average person to know that they are being manipulated without this legislation.

      A quick example of what net neutrality prevents. The cable company that I use is left leaning. They could reduce the bandwidth available for accessing sites like TheBlaze and ProudlyMadeInAmerica.com for virtually any reason. This would decrease my ability to access these sites and might lead others, not me, to abandon these sites altogether.

      Hardly. I just found it an amusing anagram of the old cliche, “Better dead than red!” used by anti-Communists during the Second Red Scare, having been adapted from the old Nazi phrase “Lieber tot als rot!” which said the same thing. I guess it was Goebbels way of trying to convince the Wehrmacht to give it their all on the Eastern Front.

Obama has proven over and over again that he is perfectly willing to sit back and let the progressive machine take this country by hook or by crook. We can only hope that in January, the real Americans will stand up and stop this maddness!

      @ Lantern

      You’re correct. The FCC only has legal purview to regulate airwaves.

      I debated the Constitutionality of the FCC with my Mass Communications professor while I was in college. I argued that the FCC’s ability to censor of a free press is unConsitutional because that gives more power to an oligarchy of 5 people more power than the Constitution would grant to a body of people designed to be much larger, that tyranny would eventually reign and that the FCC would eventually overstep itself by moving into areas of Communications it was expressly forbidden from. In short, I predicted this very move.

      The BS hair splitting argument I got from my lefty wingnut professor was essentially “The First Amendment says ‘Congress shall make no law,’ it says nothing about government as a whole,” and to stop being paranoid. It’ll never happen. Wonder what he’s saying today. Probably loves the move.

      FCC was told no by the courts and it did this anyway. It’s time to defund, disband, reorganize, and redefine the purpose of the FCC–and place real, legislated, legal boundaries on its authority. Then we can line up the other federal agencies one by one and give them the proverbial rectal exam.

It puts a foot in the door to expand internet regulation to begin policing content. Unless this is stopped by the courts, the FCC will have complete control of internet communications within the next few years. Bigger government, more regulation, less personal freedom. Progressives may or may not have been behind the design of this portion, but you can bet your @ss they will take it and run with it.

      @ Ditto Head – I wouldn’t be so quick to call us all conspiracy theorists or crazies…. This is the same FCC that is targeting your beloved Rush Limbaugh with Fairness Doctrine.

      Yes, Roosevelt did start the FCC, the reason was with no regulation or rules, radio stations were broadcasting or trying to jam competitors and you had too many radio stations on the same or near frequencies, thus the FCC was set up to regulate and guide radio stations so we didn’t have 10 stations trying to be 750 AM in the same area. Now the FCC has no buisiness doing this and I see a huge lawsuit coming up, or congressional action.

      Now, who wants pie?

      We must all contact our Congressman and Senators and tell them to vote NO. If we don’t we will end up like China! They censor everything. Just ask Google. We can not let up on our government. They work for us. Remember?

      NONE of these new rules for the Internet are needed. It is the freest form of free speech that the world has ever seen. Leave it to the Obama administration to attempt to silence the world.

      Congress has never given the FCC the legal authority to enact these rules so I‘m pretty sure they will not stand for very long and I’m hoping that the next Congress will drag these FCC TYRANTS in front of the People’s House to answer for this crime against the Constitution.

      bmartin1776: I realize this. Shooting is absolutley the last resort. If we can get our state governments off their dead butts, they actually are the best shot to correct this problem with the Federal government. An article 5 convention may be able to put the genie back into the bottle, but they aren’t awake, or maybe they are infiltrated. Marxism seems to be rife throughout all branched of our government.
      Once the shooting starts, things quickly spiral out of control. Only God will know what we end up with, but the odds do not favor a representative republic. In fact the odds favor what we are turning into, a dictatorship.
      He who does not know history, is doomed to repeat it.

      Where will this end. All they want to do is regulate, which is liberal speak for, “we know better than you”. NO THEY DON’T

      Exactly where do they get their power to regulate the internst since the courts have already said they did not? So court decisions mean nothing if you are a part of the Obama administration. You just keep going until you find a corruptable judge or you just ignore laws. It is time to reign in all there regulatory agencies. They should have no power to initiate any regulations. They should only submit regulation requests to Congress and Congress decides. No where in the Constitution is any regulatory agency given power to make laws and make laws they do. They issue a regulation and it has the same standing as a law passed by Congress. The difference is all the regulators have to do is print it in the Federal Register and once published it becomes law.

      from reading these posts, it seems like most of you don’t know anything about net neutrality. esp. “BMartin1776”, do you have any idea what you are talking about? or you just like to talk tough and “put people on notice”. what a joke, i wish i could meet some of you people so i could beat your asses.

      I may be mistaken, but what law was passed in which the FCC may create/dictate their own laws?

      @ DAHRIPROCK : You wrote: “At this point Sarah Palin could be as retarded as Corky from the Wonder Years
      and still beat Obama hands down in 2012″

      1) “Corky” wasn’t on the “Wonder Years”
      2) I find it ironic that you use the term “retarded” and throw in Down Syndrome as a qualifier of the “retarded”. Do you think she would appreciate your comment considering her son has Down Syndrome? I gonna guess not.
      3) Next time you want to insult someone, leave the handicapped alone and insert your name instead, it will work better.
