If Obama's boys and gals get their way - aka the *Federal Communications Commission - who sparked a very big controversy when their plans were leaked in a news report on Wednesday, then their dumb decisions will have major implications, not least new start-up companies. Free Press President and CEO Craig Aaron called on the *FCC to pass “real” net neutrality rules. “With this proposal, the *FCC is aiding and abetting the largest ISPs in their efforts to destroy the open Internet,” he said by email. “Giving ISPs the green light to implement pay-for-priority schemes will be a disaster for startups, nonprofits and everyday Internet users who cannot afford these unnecessary tolls. These users will all be pushed onto the Internet dirt road, while deep pocketed Internet companies enjoy the benefits of the newly created fast lanes.”
