Take it away, Patrick.rick so recently the FCC came out with their long-awaited net neutrality

ruling and they've tried several times to effectively get net neutrality to be able to be enforced and gotten

I think this is such a complicated topic like I feel like you need to be able to be enforced and gotten, I think, this is such a complicated topic.

I feel like you need to be a lawyer to really understand it, or maybe just someone who knows more lawyers than me.

So the way I understand it is they tried several times to be able to basically enforce net neutrality

and got told by the courts they couldn't do it that way.

And so their most recent attempt was to do it by saying that broadband is essentially a utility

and that therefore the FCC has the right to be able to regulate it.

But of course, this isn't, this is interesting because some people

are opposing the fact that the FCC is even getting involved at all. So people in the tech

industry generally support the idea that net neutrality is a good thing, but that it may be bad

to have the government somehow having to defend the rights of the internet in that way

may just be asking for trouble that they'll start putting their hands into other things on internet.

And of course, other people are complaining because of what they had to do by saying that broadband was a utility.

Some people are complaining that's, you know, not, well, I guess it's a, that becomes a

political right-wing versus left-wing complaint about that that's anti-company or, yeah,

some such problem.

I'm going to try to explain net neutrality and then you can correct me.
