The Federal Communications Commission is working to expand and improve internet access with usage spiking thanks to more people working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Thus far, our infrastructure seems to be holding up extremely well,” he says. “And so I do not anticipate that consumers, in regard to video streaming or any other services, will see a degradation of that type.". The pledge asks companies to refrain from terminating service to any residential or small business customers who can’t pay their bills, waive late fees and open Wi-Fi hotspots for Americans who need them.
“If your provider has committed to taking my Keep Americans Connected pledge, then that means that the company cannot terminate service because of that customer's inability to pay a bill,” he says.
MonicaPerezShow hereandnow wtf are we paying “data providers” shitloads of money for invisible bits and bytes then if they cant properly maintain it? If they shut down the internet hopefully it stays shut down until real tech for the people is developed and rolled out
MonicaPerezShow hereandnow Anything eurpoe does we should be doing the opposite that whole region is a police state do as i say not as i do
BlackKatAlchemy hereandnow His first name should be spelled “Eejit”.
hereandnow Effff that guy
hereandnow Try living in rural America where slowing if the system is affect schooling at home
hereandnow Well. It is a good thing I have a beautiful DVD collection of movies and great tv series. My son said-People do not use CDs and DVDs anymore. HA!
MeanstheBee the one thing that Ajit Pai has consistently shownis that he's an absolute moron with a grasp of 'new media' that ought to come with its own dial-up noise
TastyChomps hereandnow MonicaPerezShow
hereandnow Net neutrality would make sure Comcast and others wouldn't do that now. Too bad he blew that up.
hereandnow How could it? Remember the Internet was destroyed when he repealed netneutrality
sachikoko hereandnow Bill should be cut in half as well.
hereandnow 'But FCC Chairman Ajit Pai says he doesn’t think this will happen in the U.S.' It shouldn't, since we pay double what they do for high speed internet.
hereandnow Isn't this the same guy that was against net neutrality?
hereandnow Sounds like a familiar sentiment in from the US last month
hereandnow If they do, they better drop the price of their membership too. Low quality, low cost
hereandnow Obviously this guy is a maron.
hereandnow 🤦♀️
hereandnow Wow this reads nearly like a propaganda piece. He is not at all for expanding broadband. He is for expanding corporate profits of the ISPs.
hereandnow Uh it’s already happening. Happened last night while trying to watch Better Call Saul on Netflix. Unsurprisingly that dipshit is lying as usual.
hereandnow Subtext: Americans are already streaming the same amount of content from work and school.
hereandnow well shit we going down.
hereandnow He was the one that CUT net neutrality.
hereandnow Thanks for reporting on different industries.
hereandnow How is internet usage really different - people were just using it at work before, now home.
hereandnow Netflix and YouTube should be free until this is over.
hereandnow Whatever, I just need a small trickle to log into Steam and play Doom Eternal. Self-quaratine couldn't have happened at a better time. razehell
hereandnow It might not, with hundreds of thousands of workers forced to work or become homeless. This country runs on the blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifices of the working poor. Without the peons, the fat cats couldn't wipe their arses, no matter how much toilet paper they hoard.
hereandnow
hereandnow We're in up-is-down-world, so get ready for stories of people trying to 'hoard,' the internet.
hereandnow Reducing quality sounds like a term the establishment loves using at the moment
hereandnow America was and always will - be great!
hereandnow This asswipe again...
hereandnow Yeah, because half of us don’t have high speed internet.
hereandnow Total bullshit!!!
hereandnow He is as stupid as he presents himself to be.
hereandnow Glad I kept all those DVDs.
hereandnow FCC Ajit Pai is a garbage human. No idea how this guy is still a thing.
hereandnow Why is he still in that position
hereandnow That means it will
hereandnow . Pretty sure many people are just gonna sit around and watch their toenails grow.
hereandnow He knows it won't happen in the US. All of our major cities have switched over to fiber and it's spreading quickly to outlying areas of major cities. It's the reason we never needed data caps.
hereandnow he's on the good shit
hereandnow Ajit’s plan is to get a good name now during a pandemic so people will think everything he says in the future will be reliable
hereandnow Yeah, “everything is fine!” I’m not fucking stupid.
hereandnow Fuck ajit!
hereandnow I'm watching Groundhog Day, on repeat.
hereandnow Is there a competent person in this administration?
hereandnow Oh yeah, this guy who slaughtered our net neutrality is totally trustworthy.
hereandnow Last thing we need is to see this fucker’s face during times like this, we are already stressed af.
hereandnow Ajit Pai ... isn't he the guy that wanted to privatize the internet completely ?
hereandnow its not happening i can say that
hereandnow everyone will hit their datacaps well before then.
hereandnow Whoa .. He wants to open Wi-Fi hotspots? O they will be hot spots alright. The governor of Ohio is raiding illegal Internet cafes as we speak. I would suggest the more homework is due
hereandnow He’s a lying, bought & paid for shill.
hereandnow So, basically, it will definitely happen in the U.S.
hereandnow Yeah believe that guy why not
hereandnow Well he is a fraud...so
hereandnow it's almost like the internet should be a public utility or something
hereandnow
