I want an Internet service provider that is bound by the Public Records Act and the Open Public Meetings Act. I want the head of my ISP to answer to my elected representatives.

Remind me again, how much money did Murray accept from Comcast during his mayoral campaign? Sure, he'll support municipal broadband--and pigs will fly out of my ass.

@1 - and you're saying Comcast is better? Really? The Net-neutrality decision is not some radical departure - it's a return to the status-quo-ante - what things were like since the beginnig of the internet, before Michael Powell's radical decision to exempt cable ISPs from the telecomm. act.

On the question of "public internet" - that radical communist Bob Corker spearheaded "public internet" in Chattanooga Tn, and it kicks the everlovin' butt of any private offering - by orders of magnitude. So yeah, municipal broadband - public broadband - is a lot better.

@5 Comcast captured the franchise for Seattle and the resulting craptastic performance is par for the course. Single provider mandated by Government, no competition, no motivation to increase performance. It's easier and cheaper to buy off the regulators than innovate. Now scale that to the entire nation and that's what the FCC just signed us up for.

What you think you just got and what you're gonna get, are two radically different things.

@1 you are absolutely right. Oh, and Comcast and the rest are just a few of the companies that exist. There are PLENTY of options out there for people willing to look. Have these liberal morons ever heard of SATELLITE INTERNET!? I'll wait until I move to get it but it is available in Seattle and is cheaper and better than Comcast.
But unless the GOP stops sitting on their hands and actually does something about the Kenyan Communist in chief we will have the Obamacare of the internet. At least with private internet you have a choice (yes, Hughesnet does exist and others would appear if Net Brutality doesn't regulate them out of existence) but with the government, you have no choice. There are many companies, but only one federal government. Hopefully this will be overturned, or else the whole damn internet will be slowed down equally and prices will go up, taxes will go up, service will be even worse and innovation will become all but non-existent.

@6
While I agree that the government created the Comcast problem and hence it would be idiotic to expect government to solve it, it is not a true monopoly: http://www.hughesnet.com/
My neighbor has this and it works fine. But remember, according to liberals, we the people can't shop for a deal on better internet service, educate our kids, walk upright or wipe our own asses without government intervention. They want a Nanny State and that is slowly but surely what they are making in America.

Give us Nanny City 20 Gbps Internet or give us death!

@7: "Kenyan Communist in chief"
into the trash it goes
