What concerns me the way it sounds like what pushed in that direction was comments and the millions of often autogenerated, very short and not particularly or in anyway, rigorous comments from many, many commenters who said you know this is terrible, you need to go to title 2. He points to what changed, what he learned in the interim, its that four million, he says, commenters said we want title 2 and so did the president. But i think, at least from my per spektsive as a prak tigs to space, the key issue for chairman wheeler would be whether he explains it well enough in the dock et when hes faced with an apel lat court thats reviewing that. It kind of gets me to my earlier point that this rulemaking itself is not in a vacuum. Its actually a remanned essentially, from the verizon case, which itself was a reaction to the comcast case before that. Ed. So its not without a fwraet deal of prior work that hes operating.

Same area. They too are concerned. Any sense, that may be a good thing. Their strength is going to be if they can act collectively.

More than anything else, the action that you take today will preserve the permissionless invasion invasion. Let me explain. The web was invented 25 years ago. To people and let them run on computers which were connected to the internet. All that was necessary for those computers were plugged in to internet. They were then communicating.

Didnt have to get permission from anybody to introduce a thing. I didnt have to pay isp and special fees. I didnt have to convince c should be let through. If it would be good for their business.
