There are false rumors that the FCC is proposing a Super Wifi plan to give everyone free wifi, free phone service and free internet.
What the FCC really proposed after the National Broadband Plan was enacted, is to auction UHF spectrum (channels 31-51) to big telcos, AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-mobile. You may want to look at this on Snopes before you get excited.
1 Spectrum bandwidth is too expensive.
2. Nationwide wifi broadband will be too expensive as big telcos impose data caps, you may want to consider using cable/satellite broadband like Xfinity, Hughesnet, and Exede.
3. How are you going to handle all the copyright lawsuits if you had a white space device to give everyone free public wifi? In order for you to offer public wifi, you must adopt stricter rules to combat online piracy including the six strikes system.
The Internet is going to die sooner or later. So you better get the old rabbit ears, read a paperback book, and explore nature.

Youtube Charging Users in the Spring will praise Over The Air Broadcast Stations
Watching Smosh will charge you $5. Watching online mini eps of the Annoying Orange would cost you $3.
So why do I think that this will praise over-the-air TV stations? because everyone watches content for free
So you may say that it's looks like the FCC will have to scrap the incentive auctions for wireless and I agree because everything on the internet will soon have paywalls, news websites already done that. Soon the internet will be officially dead and OTA broadcast television will soon getting more life. Independent book stores will soon be regaining and back in business.

Doodling can now land you in prison
Thinking about drawing something creative? Forget about it or else you will get a "Go Directly to Jail" card.
Three days after Sandy Hook shooting, a 16-year old New Jersey Student was arrested for doodling. The doodle was glove holding a ball of fire like in Super Mario Bros what the faculty thinks it's a bomb, as if the student was planning to blow up the school.
Welcome to the police state.

You think TPP is worse check out what going on with the US-EU new Trade Deal
With ACTA still ratified by Japan, Australia up next to ratify it, and TPP is under negotiations until October 2013, a new trade deal that is going is expected next month that will include provisions from the TPP bring copyright maximum.
This trade agreement is called the Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement.(TAFTA) to promote copyright maximalism to send consumers to prison. One single drawing from a child would hurt an entire family under TAFTA, for example a boy draws SpongeBob SquarePants his favorite cartoon character, but Viacom owns and trademarked that character, the entire family will be financially destroyed, and it can be proven with wireless surveillance cameras and microphones in homes transmitted to big media corporations, publishers, and other copyright holders. They could hear and see you singing a copyrighted lyric in the shower.
This trade agreement could hurt and shut down American based cheese companies like Kraft since European countries have a trademark on their cheese like Parmesan and Cheddar.
As for patents, it will give patent trolls more rights to sue consumers and small businesses.

Dangers of Abolishing the filibuster
The US Senate is voting on changing or abolishing the filibuster.The dangers are if they vote for to change or abolish the filibuster, it will suppress not only the senate minority but the American public as well. For example, The Senate attempts to revive and pass PIPA and Commercial Felony Streaming Act (CFSA) or pass any other bills secretly without making a bill available to the public or without the Senate Minority complaining. If the GOP took control of the Senate, the Dems can't do anything because the filibuster they abolished was a mistake they made. They can't do anything except the President to stop a bill that would cut medical entitlements or try to get the Senate majority to pass a tax cut for the middle class.
In order to repeal the filibuster, 60 votes are to pass and there's no other way the Dems could convice the GOP to repeal it., If the Dems get their way, we're going to see civil unrest.
DO NOT REPEAL THE FILIBUSTER.
The filibusters can be bad for the Senate but good for the American public.

Austrailia becomes the 2nd country to ratify ACTA
The Senate is set to ratify after they complete analysis of ACTA by the end of this month.
Australia has become the second country to ratify the agreement and only 4 more ratification until our human rights are taken away.
Say goodbye to DeviantArt.
But we need to read Article 24
ARTICLE 24: PENALTIES
For offenses specified in paragraphs 1, 2, and 4 of Article 23 (Criminal
Offenses), each Party shall provide penalties that include imprisonment as well as
monetary fines12 sufficiently high to provide a deterrent to future acts of infringement,
consistently with the level of penalties applied for crimes of a corresponding gravity.
Future Acts of Infringement. Ever watched Minority Report? This could allow authorities to imprison everyone even if they're not doing anything that doesn't infringe anyone's intellectual property
Like predicting a crime to be committed. ACTA could predict that you would plan to draw a fan art of someone's intellectual property in lets say 36 hours.
Third, Since the Czech Republic is non-EU, it may intend to ratify ACTA despite its' parliament's rejections on the treaty.

Noda considers on joining TPP silencing the people of Japan
Japanese Prime Minister Noda is considering on joining TPP silencing the people of Japan. This will affect Japanese culture and send jobs overseas, farmers will be affected by this trade agreement.
As this said in the Wikipedia article:
Those groups and other critics of the investment protection regime argue that traditional investment treaty standards are incompatible with environmental law, human rights protection, and public welfare regulation, meaning that TPP will be used to force states to lower standards for e.g. environmental and workers protection - or be sued for damages. As a worst case scenario, investor-state arbitration gives transnational corporations powers to trump the sovereign powers of nations and states and hold back policy developments such as those relating to sustainability and clean energy.
Again, complaining about a unsafe defective products will expose a consumer in a TPP international tribunal.
