Free Press, an ironically-named group that pushes for government regulation of the Internet, started the year by attacking a fledgling service launched by cable and direct-broadcast satellite providers. The new service, called TV Everywhere, allows cable and satellite subscribers to watch programming online at no additional cost. Sounds like a nice service that will encourage more online video content. So why the call for regulation?

A couple of months ago I told you about the FCC's regulatory power grab, boosted by the radical left, to gain control of the Internet and potentially our whole communications system. With Glenn Beck's help, we exposed the White House Czar charged with technology policy, Susan Crawford, and she was forced to resign. Unfortunately, the left's effort to take over the Internet continues. The Federal Communications Commission is moving ahead with proposed "Open Internet" rules, which would give federal regulators vast new powers, and ultimately lead to government control of the Internet.
