Explain please.

Its just like universal health care and the liberal idea of driving down competition. In this case, favoring the dominant ISPs and getting rid of the smaller ones will only drive prices up as the competition goes down. The government is just overreaching far too much the past decade, it really has turned into a communist/socialist state.

Previous to this ruling, with the "open market" we have reached what we have today. How do you figure the previous status quo would have changed anything?

I'm specifically interested in his economic theory as to why these rules will hurt smaller ISPs in favor of large ones. Like, specifics. Play it out hypothetically and describe why.

Because that's what Rush told him. So it must be right.

I don't listen to Rush at all, but I know its shocking that someone can have a view that NBC/CNN/MSNBC/AP didn't tell you to have, but alternative views exist.

You know, once you start including the Associated Press into your "left wing media bias" group you know you have no grasp on reality and should be rethinking your news sources. You want to include Reuters in there too?

Maybe eventually you'll get to the point that the only source for information you trust the the blog some dude runs out of his basement.
