[governance] Free Web Plan Being Pushed by FCC Head

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

JFC and all,

  It's interesting that your nation, France, and now, via fiat, the EU,

is even worse in some specific and often times peculiar ways...  It
seems of late, via Frances leadership, the EU indeed has some peculiar
ways...
