Re: Even if FCC loses, it won't lead to abuses on Net Neutrality Seems to me if Comcast wins in court, it just puts pressure on the legislature to create the law for the FCC. Perhaps this is what Comcast wants so they (along with any of the incumbent ISPs) could deploy their lobby arm, grass roots educational services, and think tanks to help shape that law. |

A law would be preferred to "principles" where the FCC is concerned. Principles are open ended and would lead to the usual creeping growth of regulation by a gov't agency. A law with strictly constructed provisions would limit the ability of the FCC to extend their bureaucratic powers thru some amorphous and ever changing principles. |

I think you're right. The clever lobbyist would want to keep the existing, fairly wimpy framework in place. Claiming the FCC toothless on this front could backfire and create additional pressure to pass new laws... |
