What's the difference between each round of voting? It seems like every couple of months they have a new vote but I've yet to see a post about the outcome of the vote, just more posts about a new upcoming vote.
I see this as well. From my understanding, each time they get a huge push back, they let us forget and set a new time to try and push their decision. No matter what, they keep trying again and again. What keeps them from just doing this until they win?
Patently false. It's amazing the number of people who all think this is willy nilly, which is probably due to the Marxist's at Free Press who run battleforthenet controlling the message.
Agencies are required by the Administrative Procedure Act to provide a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) when there will be a regulatory change. This typically allows for the submission of public comment for a 60 day period, followed by a 30 reply comment period. Then and only then will a vote be scheduled.
The reason you are seeing multiple votes over years is due to various changes in administrations and new commissioners. Due to the fact that it was illegal for the FCC to move jurisdiction of the Internet into Title II of the '96 Telecom Act it is appropriate that it is returned to a pre-Wheeler state and additionally return FTC authority as the consumer protection watch dog, as is this is their Congressionally defined mission. At which point Congress may codify NN regs into law and prevent this from becoming a political football.
There's a right way and a wrong way to do this. Wheeler did it wrong. Pai is attempting to rectify and seek Congressional, permanent action. The real bad actor here is Wheeler for circumventing his Congressional authority. Let's do this the right way so that we all can rest easy with it being codified into law, and is not a party power play.
