Comcast Can Censor This Blog Post ... With FCC's Permission?


Author: Marvin Ammori

[Commentary] A Washington Post article this morning says the Federal Communications Commission may be "leaning toward" siding with the largest phone and cable companies and against an open and universal Internet. The FCC may reconfirm the old George W. Bush decisions giving away FCC authority to protect citizens' right to access the Internet. To do this, the FCC will decide to rest its decisions on hollow legal theories that would give them the appearance of following through on Obama campaign promises, knowing full well the pro-consumer decisions would be reversed after the mid-term elections. In doing so, the Obama FCC would be breaking Obama's most important pledge about the Internet--to support an open Internet.
