What a waste of time.
Once again Brodkin is taking the hard line stance that only the Title II FCC
rules are acceptable; that only the FCC can “regulate” the Internet properly.
Never mind that nobody is regulating the real offenders of Net Neutrality -
i.e. the monopolistic edge services.
The final paragraph in the article
As noted earlier in this story, the FCC's claim that the FTC can handle net
neutrality violations has played a role in the lawsuit seeking to reverse the
repeal. As petitioners including Mozilla and consumer advocacy groups told a
federal appeals court, "The FCC may not delegate to DOJ and the FTC
responsibility for addressing fundamental questions of national
telecommunications policy when Congress expressly assigned that job to the FCC."
Earth to Brodkin...
Congress specifically PROHIBITED the FCC from regulating the Internet in the
1996 Telecommunications Act updates. And the Supreme Court has upheld this.
Perhaps Brodkin can focus his energy on the only real solution to this never
ending debate - If he can convince the House and Senate to place his beloved
Net Neutrality rules into legislation, and convince the President to sign the
bill, fine.
Otherwise, shut up.
