Last week, Golden Frog co-founder and co-CEO Ron Yokubaitis attended US Senator Ted Cruz (R Texas), press conference in the Capital Factory in Austin, Texas for the future of the Internet. This event included the opportunity for Ron to speak with the senator and his staff on several issues, including the recent comments of Senator against Title II classification "last mile" - the link between the Internet and your House. To be clear, while we agree with much of the agenda of the Internet Senator Cruz, we do not agree with his comments about the Title II. We welcomed the opportunity to talk directly with the Senator, and expect to continue the conversation in the future.
Speaking on stage before Senator Ron focused his remarks on Internet privacy issues. Ron urged Senator Cruz to help get the Act horribly day and confidentiality of electronic communications (ECPA) updated and reminded the public broadband telecommunications and ISPs are currently surveilling Internet traffic. Ron said, "the Constitution does not save you ... you need to use encryption to defeat the surveillance state"
He also praised efforts to protect its citizens from Texas. . personal data He said: "I compare Texas for Switzerland within the United States."
US Senator Ted Cruz has unveiled its "Do not mess with the Internet" agenda in Austin, saying Congress should not allow the administration Obama to regulate the Internet as a public service and that Congress should kill legislation that online sales tax.
regarding the remarks of Senator of title II, we believe that Senator Cruz President Obama simplified to the open question on the Internet. Neither the difference between the Internet "real" and the "last mile." The Internet, as defined by Wikipedia, "is a worldwide system of computer networks interconnected connecting billions of devices worldwide. It is an international network made up of millions of private networks, public, academic, business and government networks, connected by a wide range of electronic products, wireless and optical networking technologies. "This portion of the Internet has a dynamic competition, it is booming. It does not need to be fixed or regulated
Instead, it is the last mile -. The link between the Internet and your home - which is slow, expensive, and a threat to privacy and freedom. The last mile is not the Internet. The last mile is controlled by monopolistic companies that provide customer service. He is the last mile we support should be reclassified under Title II. This would give the FCC the authority to enforce transit rules, so that providers have a duty to serve all Internet packets without discrimination, or even go so far as to open to competition, innovation and ensure that all content providers have the ability to compete.
After the press conference, Ron was invited to a future discussion with Cruz staff to discuss the Internet legislation. We look forward to continued dialogue and to thank Senator Cruz for the opportunity to participate in the event last week.
