We now learn that he\'s some kind of expert on "the internet."  "No, I\'m not finished. I want people to understand my position..."  Who knew we had such technology geniuses in the Great White Northwest?  LOL!!!!  This idiot is chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee!!!!
 

Quote

There\'s one company now you can sign up and you can get a movie delivered to your house daily by delivery service. Okay. And currently it comes to your house, it gets put in the mail box when you get home and you change your order but you pay for that, right.
 
But this service is now going to go through the internet* and what you do is you just go to a place on the internet and you order your movie and guess what you can order ten of them delivered to you and the delivery charge is free.
 
Ten of them streaming across that internet and what happens to your own personal internet?
 
I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o\'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why?
 
Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially.
 
So you want to talk about the consumer? Let\'s talk about you and me. We use this internet to communicate and we aren\'t using it for commercial purposes.
 
We aren\'t earning anything by going on that internet. Now I\'m not saying you have to or you want to discriminate against those people [¿]
 
The regulatory approach is wrong. Your approach is regulatory in the sense that it says "No one can charge anyone for massively invading this world of the internet". No, I\'m not finished. I want people to understand my position, I\'m not going to take a lot of time. [¿]
 
They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet. And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on. It\'s not a truck.
 
It\'s a series of tubes.

Makes you wonder why more competent people aren\'t in his position.

*spelling checked twice due to use of the word "competent"

Maybe Bush and this guy are aware of other internets and we\'re all the chumps.

Gotdamn pop up ads clogging my tubes.
