And now that FCC meeting concerning free nationwide Wi-Fi won’t even happen

How great is this: the FCC meeting that was scheduled to take place this week where they’d discuss the plans for free nationwide Wi-Fi isn’t even going to happen. The meeting, which was supposed to occur on the Dec. 18, was killed because a bunch of congressman objected to any “controversial” items emerging from the FCC during the last day’s of George W. Bush’s presidency. Better to let the new congress and Obama-influenced FCC tackle the matter.

Kevin Martin, the FCC chair, wants the nationwide Wi-Fi network to be be pornography-free (yeah, that’ll happen; the Internet is for porn), dontcha know?

In any event, it’s best to look at this latest development as merely a postponement and not an outright killing of the plan.

Next year, then.

  • That was probably a good idea to postpone the meeting until Obama is in.

  • If it’s really free, why does there need to be a “plan”?

    If a “plan” is needed, then someone must pay…someone must labor..

    I guess if you neither labor, nor pay, it sounds like a great deal.

    Good to see the incentives will be in the right place come the next administration…looks like we’re going from horrible to worse.
