Sure, let's release the rules on Friday.

More stall tactics. Rule it a utility already so the pouting and foot stomping can commence while the rest of us get on with our lives.

Do you have a problem with being able to see what's in the document before it's voted on? Or should we blindly accept what's in it without knowing?

What possible objection could anyone make to public release of the proposed regulations before the FCC votes on them?

"Stall tactics" to actually have an opportunity to read and vet 332 pages of regulation that have the potential to impact the lives of virtually everyone who participates in the modern economy?

You're a ridiculous fool if you believe it is "pouting and foot stomping" to object to introducing substantial new government regulation without even a shred of transparency and an opportunity for public review in the process. If these regulations are, on balance, so beneficial to the public as a whole; it will be revealed as such in the analysis.

There is no "crisis" related to Internet access that even comes close to just...

While I agree with the intent of what you said, this delay isn't really to let the public discuss or review the proposed legislation, this delay is to give Stake Holders (Big Donors and Industry) a chance for their lawyers lawyers to size up the legislation for exploitable loopholes, I mean monetization strategies.
Most people cannot digest hundreds of pages of legalese regulations so we will likely rely on what someone else tells us it says, like every major bill in recent history. Even when details Are available in advance, our elected imbeciles still don't read them, they listen to what someone else tells Them it says.
The public are never regarded as stake holders in any situation, and if there were any particular items in the bill t...

"this delay is to give Stake Holders (Big Donors and Industry) a chance for their lawyers lawyers to size up the legislation for exploitable loopholes"

That makes zero sense. Delay or not will have no bearing on how they eventually handle this. I doubt a delay on the voting is not going to have a material difference on how "Stake Holders" deal with rules.

"But whether we read it or not, this delay period isn't for Us."

Not directly. But it will be read and reported on. I personally wouldn't read 332 pages, but I'd like to hear what's in it.

Notice the strategy here...

Ask for a reasonable explanation of this radical new change enforced by a government entity that has been illegally influenced by the White House Administration, and you are referred to as a "foot stomper".
Same tactic used by Pelosi and the Socialist Scum who passed ObamaCare: "We have to pass the bill before we can see what's in it".

Make no mistake. This is government hostile takeover of the internet at the demand of the White House. This goes along with the recent "Social Media Extremism" summit where a bunch of socialist nanny state worshippers demanded that anyone who doesn't agree with them be banned from using social media. This also falls in line with recent laws proposed to ban sites and blogs ...
