Bush's FCC Shuts Down Internet Access

If your high speed Internet provider is not your phone company, you may be

unplugged very soon.

On Friday the Federal Communications Commission reversed course and

deregulated high speed Internet service. The FCC gave telephone companies

the right to stop other Internet service providers, like Earthlink, from

using their lines.

For years the baby bells raged against " forced access " AKA consumer

choice. Until today the FCC balked. It's a brilliant political strategy on

Bush's part. Just as Rove and the White House are outed on their lies, why

not wipe out Internet access for tens of millions of curious Americans?

The Evening News will tell them eveything they need to know.

The FCC's reasoning is that DSL is an information service not a

telecommunication service subject to regulation. Tell that to millions of

Americans who could be booted off line if they don't want to pay their

telephone company's price.

" However, the FCC will require the phone companies to share their

high-speed networks for at least one year. "

" If having endured much, we at last asserted our 'right to know' and if,

knowing, we have concluded that we are being asked to take senseless and

frightening risks, then we should no longer accept the counsel of those

who tell us that we must fill our world with poisonous chemicals, we

should look around and see what other course is open to us. "
