Of course they can

"while the Democrat Commissioners may have extracted concessions from AT&T, they in no way bind future Commission action."

The FCC is never at the mercy of prior acts. They'll either just decide it was a bad idea and repeal the rule or Congress will pass a law prohibiting its enforcement. "Concessions" are even wimpier and have no basis in law.

Re: Of course they can

I agree. If the FCC really cared about concessions, then we'd all have Fiber run to our homes, as per the Telecom Act of 1996...

Rockville, MD		 agreed.

The ILECs didn't pay too much attention to the 1996 law, why would they pay attention to anything they don't like?
