Obama's dream of extending federal control over online delivery had a final stake driven through it by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday. Writing for a unanimous panel, Circuit Judge Richard Griffin, a George W. Bush appointee, ruled that the Federal Communications Commission had no legal authority to regulate internet broadband companies, "The FCC lacks the statutory authority to impose its desired net-neutrality policies through the “telecommunications service” provision of the Communications Act."


Net Neutrality has always been much more about an FCC power grab as the reason for its existence, regulating the electromagnetic spectrum, became less important with the advent of internet broadband services. The FCC cloaked its search for continued relevance in the guise of protecting consumers from nefarious corporate schemes to stifle available content.

The concept of net neutrality has its roots in the early days of the internet, where the ethos was one of openness and equality. The term "net neutrality" was coined by Columbia University law professor Tim Wu in a 2003 paper titled "Network Neutrality, Broadband Discrimination." Wu articulated the principle that internet service providers should treat all data on the internet the same, regardless of source, content, or destination. This idea was born out of the concern that without such a principle, ISPs could favor certain content or services over others, potentially stifling innovation and free speech. Obama's administration glommed onto this totalitarian solution to an ill-defined and conjectural threat as a tool to mobilize its voters and patrons.

Moron has no clue about what net neutrality is but he’s against it because he associates it with Obama.

What a deep thinker.

Net neutrality is a good thing for small businesses and consumers, but Comrade RightGuide doesn’t care about that.

Can't wait until Leon throttles his competitors internet speeds at their supply plants.

Shut up stupid. I've forgotten more about it than you'll ever know. We had over 10 years to understand it.

Where did President Obama hurt you? Is he in the room with us now?

Shut up stupid. I've forgotten more about it than you'll ever know. We had over 10 years to understand it.

This is Jack admitting that he's wrong.
