Not that I thought carriers should be able to treat customers' traffic unfairly, but the FCC had acted without proper authority. The issue of a lack of authority may be about to be fixed, and if that happens the FCC will be faced with another question: If it can act, when should it do so? http://www.itworld.com/networking/79108/legally-arrived-principles-isps#comments Government Internet Legal News FCC net neutrality Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:00:27 -0400 ITworld staff 79108 at http://www.itworld.com
