Re: I wonder

I'd have to agree. This is PR, they made some deal with Vonage for the publicity and to get mileage out of it on the lobbying agenda.

So they put Vonage up on a pedestal as an example of their "new" policies.

Course, should they actually win the long term battle (and achieve their agenda- banning net neutrality type regulations) they'll be able to kick that pedestal out from under Vonage (and other Net competitors) at the snap of their fingers.

I wouldn't call it pulling out the pedestal, more like slashing their throats.
