A Republican Federal Communications Commission board member last month issued a doomsday warning on his government agency's plan to adopt so-called net neutrality rules.

Republican commissioner Ajit Pai pushed back on the decision by holding a press conference to disparage the FCC's 332 page 'secret plan' to take control of the internet that he cautioned would bring about 'adverse consequences to the entire Internet economy.'

Pai warned 'that consumers that use less data may end up subsidizing consumers that use more data' and have 'less choice and less free data' if the plan is put into effect.

Referring to the proposal as 'President Obama's plan,' Pai said it 'gives the FCC broad and unprecedented discretion to micromanage the Internet.'

'This plan gives a Washington bureaucracy a blank check to decide how Internet service providers deploy and manage their networks from the last mile all the way through to the Internet backbone.'

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
