"Since the FCC seems to have no problem with this idea, I've (through correspondence) gotten access to the FCC's internal IP block, and throttled all connections from the FCC to 28.8kbps modem speeds on the Neocities.org front site, and I'm not removing it until the FCC pays us for the bandwidth they've been wasting instead of doing their jobs protecting us from the 'keep America's internet slow and expensive forever' lobby," NeoCities creator Kyle Drake wrote yesterday.

I'm with the comments, if you really want change why stop at the FCC, anything that is tied to a .gov, or .edu should be throttled.

if there is to be throttling - it should be made publicly aware as to who is throttling what.
