Bert,
You say:
"The FCC was PERFECTLY within its rights to re-classify broadband service in
2015, in order to be able to mandate neutrality. It's disingenuous BS to
claim otherwise, basically another distraction by the same Chairman who tries
to make web sites that bad guys."
If this is the case as you assert, then the FCC was also PERFECTLY within its
rights to re-re-classify boradband service in 2017 back to the pre-2015
definition. It's disingenuous BS to claim otherwise. That is the danger of
having an arbitrary board decide these things rather than through the proper
law-making channels. What one regime givith, another regime can taketh away.
Exactly. The reality is that there is plenty of wiggle room in the existing
Telecom laws, and it is too easy to go Court shopping to support any position.
A bill was introduced yesterday that would end this stupidity. But it will not
put the Net Neutrality debate to rest - in fact it may intensify it.
The fear mongering has already begun, with The Verge, WaPo, and CNN attacking
the proposed legislation...

Craig
