How does free Wi-Fi for 95-percent of the country sound? Good, right? OK, what if that Internet was porn-free? Eh, not so great… (There’s something in the Constitution about ‘free speech’ and privacy, right?) Luckily, the fate of such a system has been put to rest for another day, after FCC Chairman Kevin Martin delayed a vote on a controversial plan to sell wireless airwaves, which would require the purchasing companies to massively expand their Internet services and offer a free, porn-less option.

Besides the porn issue, much objection has arisen from the business community affected by the proposed auction of the airwaves, saying that requiring an unproven business model (i.e. offering free Internet access) was not beneficial. Only one company thus far has proposed a business plan that incorporates the free Wi-Fi.

So on the bad side, you still have to pay for Internet service. On the good side, there’s still tons of porn on your Internet. We think it’s a fair trade.

Twist of the year, including last year: The FCC has actually ruled in favor of personal rights over giant corporations.

Comcast, a cable television and Internet provider (and bane of many a customer with no other choice), was trying to stop the usage of peer-to-peer sharing (BitTorrent and other services) by using a tricky combination of hardware and software to stifle that type of Internet traffic. This is speculation but I’ve always believed this was because they were receiving pressure from the RIAA, but whatever. Either way, this practice could render your upload and download speeds completely impotent if you chose to use certain types of data transmittance, regardless of whether or not you were participating in ‘illegal’ activity.

In a ridiculously badass and unexpected decision, the FCC totally fucking facepalmed Comcast by ruling the behavior illegal. Read more
