not necessarily...
If you read the summary and compare it with the recent change of cable's regulatory status to "Telecom. provider" you will see that this ruling doesn't have the effect that you're implying. There is a distinct definition drawn by the FCC between "basic" and "enhanced" services (see page 9 of the decision) with basic services able to be regulated (ie ISPs) while enhanced services (VoIP, P2P, et al.) are to remain unregulated in the interest of further developing the internet. This really doesn't change anything regarding the cable co's fight to remain closed networks. |
