In this episode we continue our coverage of the FCC’s attack on net neutrality, and provide you with an update with respect to how the industry is coming to the FCC’s defense. Additionally, we’ll discuss how President Trump’s budget is unusually cruel. We’ll also discuss corporate Democrats such as Tom Perez, and what the Democratic Party establishment believes should be their primary focus in 2018. All of these topics and more will be discussed in this episode. Enjoy!
