Make sure you listen to the audio: http://media.publicknowledge.org/stevens-on-nn.mp3
The part that really gets me is when he starts explaining that "people who are streaming through 10,12 movies at a time, or a whole book at a time, for..for..for...for consumer's use, those are not you and me. They're not the consumers. They're the providers."
What a moron. He's trying to argue that we don't need net neutrality provisions because we're consumers and we don't need the speed that commercial interests need.
And then there's this gem:
"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?"
Does this man even speak English? He obviously doesn't understand how the internet works. He says he got "an internet" at a slow pace "because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially."
Why is someone like this even allowed to make decisions about something he obviously has no idea about. This is the House of Representatives debate all over again (I watched a good deal of the net neutrality debate on C-SPAN one day. Though really only one amendment dealt with net neutrality, a number of representatives were arguing that the whole bill was not about fair use of networks, but about lowering cable rates for their districts).

Marsz, marsz, Dąbrowski,
Z ziemi włoskiej do Polski,
Za twoim przewodem
Złączym się z narodem.
