He listed many companies, hence the free market. he represents government interest. He said the government should be the only one threatening your 1st amendment. rights. This proposal will give the government ownership of the web. Fox news can load faster if they invest in the IT. What is he saying, every server needs to be equally slow? Progressives did not invent the internet, if they had it would already be a government tool not available to the public. FRANKEN TAKE YOUR STICHDT GO HOME!

This is one of the most urgent matters of the decade. We just screwed ourselves universally when we handed over power to the FCC to ensure the horrifying "crush" videos were filtered out of available content. In the rush to prevent the display of morons engaged in acts of cruelty, we gagged ourselves across the board. Americans who value Real Freedom better stand together NOW!
@Jethro212We support net neutrality and are thus afraid of free speech? In what strange alternate reality does supporting a means of free expression represent our distaste for it? Are you saying that Corporations should also have free speech, the hulking behemoths of power and cash that control almost everything you own and see? Your response is unclear, please revise it.
@Jethro212 I see your not a very intelligent individual, you probably think Reagan was a good president! You are the type who goes to youtube and becomes a neocon troll who just bashes anything that Fox tells them to! Do yourself a favor and move countries better yet drink the Kool Aid that the Tea Party is serving jack ass!
@Jethro212 : Mussolini just sucked off of Hitler's tit and did what he was told. Though in that regard then yes he and Obama are the same. But in that regard so is Sarah Palin with the Baptist Right.
@SancLunatic agreed, but actually I believe the govt should have no say in what any corporations can or can't do with their money & big corporations shouldnt have influence over the govt & it's policies.Sadly the latter is true & THAT is the root problem.It all boils down to money,greed & power(both sides) as so many things seem to do.What Verizon & Google want to do is get richer by allowing those with the most $ have favor on the Internet over the small guys.Can & should the govt step in? IDK.
someone tell me why Franken is being called a fascist, hypocrit, bought off globalst etc. in these comments.What he says here,if sincere,can only be good for us little guys.The rich will have favor in ALL media.They already do now on TV but never did so much on the net.The net was always an equal playing field which is its greatest property. Net Neutrality is NEEDED. Whether a Billion $ business or a "mom & pop" or a kid preaching from his basement they show as equals on the net.Keep it that way
@DoctorS8n Micro-management of banks? DOH! Secret deals for friends? DOH! Gun control... DOH! Unions? DOH! National Heath Care? DOH! And lastly, alienate people through above groups through intimidation? DOH!Now, who did I describe, Obama and Dems or Mussolini?
Net neutrality? Really? You guys are hilarious, just amazing how scared you are of free speech.You want to turn the USA into some fascist state, go nuts, just make sure not to be surprised when states say, "Bye."
