On Countdown: Net Neutrality Order Hugely Disappointing

I was on MSNBC’s Countdown, talking with Chris Hayes about the net neutrality order to be issued today.

The message: the FCC Chairman caved to the most powerful interests and is adopting a rule that may end the Internet’s historic openness to all software and content as a level playing field. This will undermine the Internet’s role in as an engine of economic innovation and democratic participation. The rule was written by and for the giants like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, who are cheering the rule. And the FCC Chairman is trying to fool the public into believing they should thank him.

I wish I had a happier message.
