The Great Net Neutrality Distraction?
A recent New York Times article chronicles the battles in the war over net neutrality since a Federal appeals court struck down the FCC's grounds for regulating broadband Internet in March.
Since the ruling, the FCC has furiously tried to reestablish its jurisdiction over broadband services and simultaneously advocate for net neutrality principles.
The article suggests that the entire debate may be much ado about nothing: while there are no net neutrality regulations on the books, consumers have come to expect net neutrality and companies will violate the principle at their peril.
Above all, the discussion has become a major distraction from the FCC's groundbreaking National Broadband Plan and its blueprint to provide 1-gigabyte service to all anchor institutions and achieve universal broadband connectivity.
