“This is the kind of regulation I was looking for,”

The problem is that it is regulation by the government. By establishing regulations unopposed then it has in fact established that the government has the authority to regulate, that, up to now, has not be established by legislation.

Even though these regulations appear to be generalized and lite handed for now, that can, and will, also change very quickly. Had they (FCC) come out with specific and heavy handed, they would have been a revolt to prevent implementation.

The underlying issue is the whole concept of “net neutrality” and who establishes what is neutral. This is a precursor the the ‘Fairness Doctrine” and who says what is fair on talk radio. I do not want the govt that intrusive into my communication and sources of information.

The concept of fairness doctrine is opposite to net neutrality. Each negates the other.
