In a completely frustrative , but not all that surprising , piece of news , FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is recommending that the mission approve Charter Communications ’ plan to bribe Time Warner . This could make thingsso much worse .
Wheeler lay claim in a financial statement that the proposition “ outlines a number of condition in home for seven year that will straight benefit consumers by bring and protecting competition to the picture market place and increase wideband deployment . ” So for just seven years , the megacorporation will not be allow to have data detonator or usage - ground pricing and can not consign special fees to hard dealings supplier .
Well give thanks God the net and television is only going to subsist for seven year . Otherwise , in less than a decade , a giant communications monolith would be de jure allow to do whatever it wanted to crush contention .
bicycler continued on to say :
If the weather condition are approve by my colleagues , an additional two million client locations will have access to a high - speed connection . At least one million of those link will be in competition with another gamy - speed broadband provider in the market serve well , make for institution and new pick for consumers , and demonstrate the viability of one broadband supplier overbuilding another .
In other words , Time Warner Charter ( or whatever it chooses to be address ) has also promised to acquire two million more customers , and it will do so in some areas where other service supplier ( Cablevision , probably ) already live . That gives multitude a grand total of two option .
This does n’t “ demonstrate the viability of one broadband supplier overbuilding another , ” it ’s just back talk serve to the idea that these caller do n’t have a monopoly on what is a life-sustaining service in today ’s world .
This is horrible news withhorrible consequences .
