Christ, this is hard to read
Feb. 27th, 2015 09:24 amVerizon's response to the FCC's decision to reclassify broadband Internet service providers as common carriers is printed in International Morse code.
Morse code was intended to be heard not read, and the spaces between the letters in whatever font they're using are difficult to resolve, so even pronouncing it is hard.
Verizon is, of course, full of shit. Of course Internet service providers should be treated as common carriers; moreover, I would go further and insist that no Internet service provider should have any stake in the content he or she delivers. Verizon holds a monopoly on Internet service in many places, including the town of New Shoreham, RI, where every Internet user buys service directly or indirectly from Verizon. Market forces are never enough to protect customers from abuse by a monopolist, and the FCC's decision was the right one.
Verizon! Verizon! Rah, rah, rah!
Three dits, four dits, two dits, dah.
