Average Americans - Precisely

by Mark on January 9th, 2008

Precisely what folks like Scott Cleland want you to pay attention to, I suppose…

“CNET has a great article: New Hampshire voters: Net Neutrality? Huh? that exposes what we all know — that net neutrality is a niche special interest issue that is not at all on the minds of average Americans.”

Oh, now, please… “the American people aren’t aware of the issue or the term.” Really, Scott? I’m an average American, you fool!!!

Read CNet’s article. They interviewed folks on the streets in sub-zero temperatures and expected what for answers? And four out of five gave something else more importance? My good gosh, why shouldn’t they? But, five interviews makes for a reality check about the “bogus” nature of the Net Neutrality argument? Grandstanding Scott… you’re simply grandstanding by blowing five interviews incredibly out of proportion. You’ve certainly lowered yourself.

While we’re on the topic, since it’s so bogus, the

“The Federal Communications Commission will investigate complaints that Comcast Corp. actively interferes with Internet traffic as its subscribers try to share files online, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said Tuesday.

The FCC’s response will be an important test of its willingness to enforce “Net Neutrality,” the principle that Internet traffic be treated equally by carriers. The agency has a broadly stated policy supporting the concept, but its position hasn’t been tested in a real-world case.”

Perhaps that will be another reality check…
