Net Neutrality in the USA: FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler in His Proposals States That Privileges Entail Responsibilities and Obligations

The last word has not been spoken yet on the future of net neutrality, but we like what we read about USA's FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's net neutrality proposals.

Alex Wilhelm at Tech Crunch in FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler Defends His Net Neutrality Proposal quotes Wheeler:
"For the first time, open Internet protections would apply equally to both wired and wireless networks. Wireless networks account for 55 percent of Internet usage. For those to whom much is given, much is also expected — especially including an open network."
Indeed, we clearly support using Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 to regulate broadband.

See our previous posting at EUPundit in Court in America Trashes Net Neutrality and Opens Internet to Preferential Commercial Use via Faster Connections and Differential Pricing.

Hat tip to Alex Wilhelm for the link to Luke 12:48, here in the King James 2000 Bible version:
"For unto whomever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."
So be it. Amen.
