spurious 'research' fighting the title II regulations.
Precisely. New source of revenue, each side gets a piece of the pie.
The only mystery here is why the administration chose Internet regulation to
be the topic on which they insisted a stand be taken
rather than one of the other dozens of issues where it is rather easier to
understand what the regulations should be.
Mmm, the political gain does not look too bad to me, what would you have picked
instead ?
Getting a different set of lobbyists and sacking the faux researchers would
be a good start.
What makes you think their replacements would be better ?
