          That picture of Pai sitting there with a smug look on his face like he just shit his pants and is happy that it's out of him...

          Screw this guy, I hope he gets hit by a bus.

            For once, I'd be happy that a bus ran someone over.

                And now the FCC is suggesting that Mobile broadband of 10/1 might be all a house actually needs. Which would make it easier for Chairman Idiot's job easier to roll back Net Neutrality. . .

                  Needs? WTF does that mean? for that matter, we don't NEED internet - if we want to go back to early 1990's life.

                    I'm not so sure about this. It's considered a human right by the UN, and a vast majority of sales and communication is now done over the internet. You'd have a serious economic collapse if we went back to pre-internet life, it would make the 2008 recession look like a good day for the market. Could we do it? Sure, we could also get rid of modern medicine and go back to blood letting and trepanning.

                          I was going to post the same thing. We also have a tendency to overuse antibiotics but that's not really a cult thing.

                            Sure it is.. the cult of the doctor pandering to the patient. (said tongue in cheek mostly)

                              Pai conveniently forgets about Version having the only formal net neutrality complaint filed against them.

                                    This is the kind of corruption that people in the third world don't understand. They think that corruption stops with cops shaking you down on the side of the road for $20. The scale and ubiquity of American style corruption is so large and so complete that you can't even imagine it elsewhere in the world.

                                      really? Sure the locals might not think there is corruption further up the chain because they have it so in their face locally, but does that mean that it doesn't exist? And if that's not what you're trying to day, I guess I need further explanation.

                                        They don't understand that we have this in America. They are used to "in your face" corruption, not corporate / political corruption like this. So it gives the impression that the US is less corrupt than their countries are even while the corruption is often far bigger and more intense.

                                          Interesting way to put it. Not words I would use, but then again, I don't have ones I would use at the moment. I'll agree that our bigger government/bigger companies have bigger corruption.

                                          I'm not sure what's not to understand though... do those people in third world countries think corruption stops that the local cops? and everything above them is kosher?

                                            Pretty much. It is common to see corruption only where you can SEE corruption.
