It’s no surprise that Verizon, one of the big monopolistic US ISP and mobile providers, is unhappy with yesterday’s net neutrality ruling. They, amongst others, including AT&T and Comcast, have always contested against such a decision. They’ve constantly maintained that the ‘fast lanes’ they could provide would not only help their profits, but improve the services provided to users.

Whether you agree with their interpretation or not, the company decided to make their position clear following the historic decision, by utilising a popular social media meme – #ThrowbackThursday.

What you see above is just an excerpt from Verizon’s real statement on the ruling, written entirely in Morse Code. They say that the decision to bring internet provision under Title II regulation is antiquated and not fit for purpose in the 21st Century.

Just incase you did want to read the real thing, the company posted a link to the statement for “readers in the 21st century” which you can read here. Even that they styled as though it was written on a typewriter.
