I do believe that is an actual F.C.C. violation. You can't simply cut off a telephone service, which is what all Internet services are, without proper notification.
Which is also why I said the F.C.C. should take control out of the hands of IANA, ICANN, and the ISP's.
Hey, it worked for the telephones, didn't it? |

Cable internet is NOT a telephone service, or else you would have to pay USF fees on your cable bill. The cable industry FOUGHT to make sure their internet was NOT classified as telecommunications.

In your typical style, you're pulling info from someplace besides the actual law...I can give you a hint but it would be flaming.
As has been pointed out here NUMEROUS TIMES, ON THE FRONT PAGE...the FCC has deemed cable internet to NOT BE A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE! Thus, it isn't regulated in the same manner.
Please brush up before posting. Wait, you've never done it before. |

Maybe you should be the one doing the reading:
The Federal Communications Commission and local franchising authorities are responsible for enforcing a variety of cable television regulations.

And you're already flaming. |

We aren't talking about cable television. What planet do you live on? The FCC ruled that Cable HSI IS NOT A TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE! Are you mental? It is free from the same regulation as a telco service. Get a net, fall into it. |

That's why I'm proposing a law to change that.
It is still communications, and it's still telecommunications.
You have a foul mouth; lack of education or simply lack of good manners? |

You have a problem following logic. You can't propose a law anyway. Who the hell do you think you are?
I may have a foul mouth, but I have accurate info.
Did it not occur to you that Cogeco is a Canadian company in the first place? What the hell are you on? |

I'm an American. What are you? Any American can propose a law, or didn't they teach you that either, in school?
According to the universities I've graduated, I'm an expert, in more than one field, Telecommunications and Communications being one of them, which means, I can not only propose laws, but I can present Expert Testimony in a court of law, or before the Congress, etc.. Did you not know that about college graduates?
Now, I might also ask, who are you?
And by the way, the American people paid for the invention and all of the copyrights and trademarks that go along with the Internet, including packet switching. The Department of Defense controls these copyrights and patents as part of the research agreement with the original authors. But they are the property of the American people. America has "chosen" to share them with the world. At least give credit to your fellow countrymen. I know that none of the other countries wants to acknowledge our contribution, but you should not be joining foreign nationals in trying to redefine our copyright rights. They are still American by our laws and by International Treaty which recognises the full validity of American Copyright Law. Not to mention the various patents and Patent Law.
And where is this decision you spoke of about cable not being telecommunications? Cite your source. |

Being an American doesn't mean being a Fascist. |
