Re: A supporting commentary to McDowells
I think that is a good point - what jurisdiction does the FCC have over Internet access?
It is too bad Congress has not had the will to develop a set of Network Neutrality guidelines. Social policy ought to be made by government and then private enterprise figures out how to play profitably in that arena.
Internet access will become more important over time. The rules governing access should be debated publicly. From past experience regulations that were often not in the best interest of short term profitability have turned out to be very positive for long term growth because they facilitate innovation whereas it is in a company's best interest to stifle competitive upstarts.
