Analysis of broadband affordability deemed “extraneous” by FCC chair.
The Federal Communications Commission is ditching Biden-era standards for measuring progress toward the goal of universal broadband deployment.
The changes will make it easier for the FCC to give the broadband industry a passing grade in an annual progress report. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s proposal would give the industry a thumbs-up even if it falls short of 100 percent deployment, eliminate a long-term goal of gigabit broadband speeds, and abandon a new effort to track the affordability of broadband.
Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act requires the FCC to determine whether broadband is being deployed “on a reasonable and timely basis” to all Americans. If the answer is no, the US law says the FCC must “take immediate action to accelerate deployment of such capability by removing barriers to infrastructure investment and by promoting competition in the telecommunications market.”
Next up EPA switches to visual inspection of water sources for purity.
They’ll just have AI do it. Can’t afford real eyes.
The AI will end up costing 3x the amount it did before but the company is owned by some senator’s son so the agency will lock in a 20 year deal.
But…
Real eyes realise real lies…
It’s all in the rhyme there.
It’s funny that you think they’ll inspect it at all.
It will be left up to the states, and only blue states who actually care enough to fund their DEP will do anything.
Which would 100% lead to illness and death.
Honestly expecting them to defluoridate water any second now, citing quack sources, and will then be aghast at skyrocketing dental issues.
… Dental will still be a luxury insurance, of course.
Why the fuck would they care about dental issues? Those are elective bones that only rich people should have anyway.
plus untreated dental diseases, like caries, gingivitis, periconitis can lead to more serious infections. also the immense pain you would feel before it even gets “worst”
