    I wish this wasn’t being framed with “Big loss for corporations” and instead was being framed as “Big win for consumers.”

    This is excellent, though I have no doubt Trump’s incoming FCC is going to try to kill this deader than Dillinger. A Fascists worst nightmare is the cheap free flow of information, which might foment protest against their rule, especially and primarily giving that access to the poor and underserved.

    Fuck’em. Abandon your networks and let literally anyone else takeover and buy them at auction.

    Not ever US business needs to be a fucking billionaire gain for fucking fuck’s sake.
