I pulled the 1st result form bing for these terms to confirm my position....
:FCC drafts not released to public :
I trust the LA times is news worthy enough and left leaning enough of a publication for you to accept it as a creditable source.......
A Republican on the Federal Communications Commission blasted the net-neutrality proposal from the agency's chairman as a "secret plan to regulate the Internet" that "opens the door to billions of dollars in new taxes" on broadband services.
Pay attention to the part that is in bold type
Originally posted by articleThe FCC typically does not release draft orders until after they are approved by the commission. Wheeler has the authority to do so but FCC spokeswoman Kim Hart said he will not break with "long-standing FCC practice.
Originally posted by articleBut he said in addition to the eight pages of new rules, there were 79 pages detailing other telecommunications regulations the FCC would exempt or not exempt Internet providers from complying with. There also were additional pages containing "extensive discussion" about how regulations would be interpreted and applied,"
332 pages, 8 regulatory, 79 on implementation with in the scope of current policy, and undisclosed number on interpretation and application. I bet there are more than a few devoted to taxation in there. But how are we to know until the commission votes and accepts the draft before we even get to see the nitty gritty details. I am not saying this is good or bad policy making until its been available for public review for a bit.

My criticism of your post was because of stuff like this:

The ony ones complaining are the corporations.
We already have net neutrality. This just makes it law.
And before anyone says anything, the internet literally came from the big evil government. So, "keeping the government out of the internet" literally makes zero sense. The corporations would love you to believe they created it for public benefit.

Before Comcast had a death grip on the local broadband business, you could swap modems however you liked. They either enabled the data to your cable line or they didn't. now Comcast has to register your modem or it won't work, because they want to discourage you from using your own device or just moving somewhere and plugging it in without sending somebody to your house for a cool $150.

"The Long, Slow Death of Cable Just Reached a Tipping Point"
Sony, Vox Media and Showtime all announced on Wednesday that they would be joining the rush to provide streaming video on demand in some fashion or another. Their moves follow HBO’s announcement this week that it will finally launch its standalone HBO Now video streaming service in an exclusive partnership with Apple — for the first time, allowing customers to watch HBO shows without paying for a traditional cable package. The days of the 500-channel universe are over,” CBS chief Les Moonves said Wednesday at an investor conference.

MAC address registration is essential to stop people from stealing internet. before docsis 3 it was painfully easy to buy a hacked cable modem that allowed free data at completely unrestricted speeds.
anyway look at this another article, full of painfully stupid, mr derpsleeves-worthy criticism of net neutrality
