Net neutrality and the new head of the FCC

Listen to this discussion between Craig Aaron, President and CEO of Free Press and Randolph May, Founder and President of the Free State Foundation. Aaron argues that there is no real competition, having at best two choices that price fix high fees. There is no call for widespread rate regulation. It's just basic consumer protection. ISPs are also owners of content and will favor their content with better service and speeds, and may likely even slow down or block service to competitive content.

As to Pai, the new FCC Chairman, he has a history of fighting against the current FCC's net neutrality rules. He against the regulation that prevents an ISP from selling your browser history. He's against extending subsidies to low-income families for internet access. He's for ISP mega-mergers which will limit competition even further, creating an internet access oligopoly. Basically he's captured by the industry he's hired to control for public protection. Which is of course Twampler's agenda, as can readily seen by all of his other appointments.
