 WHT join:2010-03-26 kudos:3 | The law trumped a lofty ideal part of the reason the FCC's broadband plan was so vague is because the agency was waiting on this ruling to see precisely where they stand legally. The FCC's policy statement (the lofty ideal) pre-dated Comcast's effort, so I don't think saying the FCC waited "on this (particular ruling)", rather it would be more correct to say the FCC waiting on a ruling, any ruling...anything to see what they raised up the flagpole would get blown down.
Yes, I agree what Comcast did was nefarious, but it did not violate any law (though it did violate the vague and legally unenforceable FCC principle of neutrality). |
