One of the things I’ve been poking around with recently is a hosting solution for APIs on this site (AKA the reverse proxy I’ve mentioned before). I’ve seen things that I’ve liked (mostly sandstorm), and while I’m certainly going to take things from a bunch of other places, it looks like I’m gonna have to do my own. Again. Which I totally don’t regret at all.
But, that’s not what this post is about.
In a surprising victory for common sense, the FCC voted to treat broadband internet connections as Title II common carriers. I don’t know how long it will last before the Republicans tear it down, but here’s hoping the decision stands. Common carrier is the only sane way of treating ISPs, and it’s always surprised me that it hadn’t happened sooner.
The problem, though, is that I don’t think the FCC will go far enough.
