Net Neutrality = More Taxes
Oh, sorry . . . “fees.” L.A. Times:
Recently adopted net neutrality regulations soon could make your monthly Internet bill more complicated — and potentially more expensive.
Every month, consumers pay a small fee on their phone bills for a federal program that uses the money — a total of $8.8 billion raised nationwide last year — to provide affordable access to telecommunications services in rural areas, underserved inner cities and schools.
Now the fee could start appearing on broadband bills too, in a major expansion of the nearly two-decade-old Universal Service Fund program.
Wait: putting government in control of something means more pointless payouts? I don’t understand.
#Unexpectedly!

where are all these “under-served” areas after 20 years of governmental “help”?

Obama will find out about these unexpected outcomes by perusing media reports.
Bugg (aace18) — 4/10/2015 @ 10:07 amI wonder what all those fans of the FCC taking over the internet because of Net Neutrality will think now?
Tanny O'Haley (c674c7) — 4/10/2015 @ 10:14 amAre you suggesting that the federal government getting involved through regulations might lead to increased costs?
Inconceivable!
