Verizon publishes its statement blasting the F.C.C.'s decision on net neutrality
Wow!! Verizon is so pissed at
the vote by the Federal Communications Commission to pass strong net neutrality rules that they tried mocking the decision by calling it a throwback to 1930s-style regulation. As if the New Deal were a pejorative, not an
amazing legacy.
And to illustrate how preserving an open democratic system to stop corporations from gouging us all is a 1930s ideal, Verizon published their statement: in Morse code.
It's in Morse code, so no one can read their arguments—unless you click on their translation at the bottom of the blog post. Which takes you to a PDF of their opposing statement.
Which means that practically no one will bother to read their lame arguments.
As a friend of mine quipped: "Verizon publishes statement against net neutrality in Morse code—and their wireless networks still cannot handle the bandwidth to download it."
