It looks like the telecoms and ISPs have been taking a page from the playbook of Chicago politicians to give the illusion of public support for their efforts to dismantle Net Neutrality, a principle that's been in place literally since the dawn of the Internet and arguably largely responsible for making the Internet the ripe environment for economic opportunity and social change that it has become.
Unfortunately, the current FCC chairman is very much in the back pocket of the telecoms & ISP's and the fact that there is significant evidence that a large majority of the alleged support for dismantling Net Neutrality is fake will simply be dismissed and the companies will get the new regulations they are paying for.
