#1 Had to pass it to find out whats in it - significant portions were NOT available for public comment before passage.

Have we learned nothing? Will the courts put a stop to this executive branch overreach - lawmaking without the legislatiors?

#2 So now AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, and others who spent BILLIONS running cables to each and every house must allow the likes of Google to ride that very expensive infrastructure for a 'reasonable cost' (meaning practically for free).
How socialistic...
And pretty soon Fred will be required to have half the content on rantburg come from the likes of moveon.org and MSNBC - for fairness. And of course using them as a chew toy wouldn't be allowed. Not Politically Correct.

#4 The regime pushes for more control over the economy by administrative fiat. Obama is pushing for "ammunition control (essentially gun control) via an executive order as well. More over-reach here.

#6 Does this mean I have a right to an internet connection at my home? Can I get ATT to run a line there? At somebody else's expense?

#7 Soon Internet access will be classified as a basic human right and those on welfare will be entitied to Gigabit broadband at government (or rather ATT/Comcast/Verizon) expense while us working fools have to take whatever remains at high prices since we have to subsidise the drug dealers and gang-bangers.
