Re: Words will hurt you
If he was doing something radical that might be true, but all he's doing here is undoing something controversial and taking the power of regulating net neutrality away from the FCC. The FTC would still have that power, as would congress. It was the inaction of congress that made Wheeler try to find a way around it, but since it was done via a ruling in the executive branch it is undone in the same way.
We'll probably have to wait a few years for major ISPs to start abusing their freedom and making deals with big players like Google and Netflix to choke off upstarts before it becomes apparent that something needs to be done. Pai is one of those ideologically rigid and basically clueless conservatives who thinks ALL regulation is automatically bad. He doesn't understand that regulation that makes a market function better is pro-capitalism. Not saying putting ISPs under Title II was the right way to do it, but his argument against regulation shows he doesn't understand this at all.
