I have to admit, I laughed at this. Yes folks, that is Morse code.

This from the translated version. I call BS - Internet access when, where and how they want. No. That is why the FCC is stepping in. They are not listening to consumers.
Does anyone really believe this stuff? I feel like I've been reading unending stories of Verizon and other ISPs doing every underhanded trick they can get away with for years. If they weren't abusing their position, this regulation would have never been necessary.The FCCs move is especially regrettable because it is wholly
unnecessary. The FCC had targeted tools available to preserve an open
Internet, but instead chose to use this order as an excuse to adopt 300-
plus pages of broad and open- ended regulatory arcana that will have
unintended negative consequences for consumers and various parts of the
Internet ecosystem for years to come.

Wow. That old typewriter font on the translation is pretty cool.

yeah, wait till the government gets involved. Be careful what you wish for. The internet is NOT a utility it is a luxury just like a cell phone. You don't have to have this. Think of it this way you spend billions on infrastructure to then have the US government which knows nothing on the subject is now making rules that you WILL abide by. Still seems fair?
The site seems to be Slashdotted at the moment.
Gentlemen, Rule 17.

They took our billions for infrastructure and didn't do anything but pocket it.

Also, "the US government which knows nothing on the subject" are the people that built it to begin with.
