Nothing in my post was wrong, you idiot.

I'm not sure if you understand this legislation.

With the passage of Net Neutrality, small businesses are the clear winner. Had it not passed, huge corporations could pay ISP's to provide their customers with more bandwidth while slowing down internet speeds (and the traffic that goes along with it) to smaller business, independent websites, etc.

It basically keeps the internet "neutral" gateway in which corporations cannot control the flow of information.

I guess that makes more sense, especially with comments like "move forward regulating other aspects of the internet," when the whole point is not regulating the internet.

We need to end women's suffrage, too!

Outside of all of it, the most glaring wrongness is this:

"In the meantime, maybe the courts will strike down this FCC power grab on the issue, as they did the last time. One can always hope. "

From here:

His common-sense proposal would replace, strengthen and supplement FCC rules struck down by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit more than one year ago. The draft Order supports these new rules with a firm legal foundation built to withstand future challenges. The Chairman’s comprehensive proposal will be voted on the FCC’s February 26 open meeting.

...
The Chairman’s proposal provides the strongest legal foundation for the Open Internet rules by relying on multiple sources of authority: Title II of the Communications Act and Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

It's built to withstand the courts. In short, you are the very definition of wrong.
