Please, Bert. You know perfectly well that NET neutrality mandates were an
Obama era phenomenon. And thankfully a short-lived one. As I have said
previously, the FCC should not be setting policy, they should only be a
vehicle to implement policy set by Congress.
If net neutrality is such a high priority for the states and for large
companies such as AT&T, then the proper channel is to contact your
representatives and have them pass a law to that effect. Then the 'rogue
Chairman' would have no recourse but to implement it.
And please note that I am not arguing whether net neutrality is a good or
bad thing. I am in opposition to executive direction or judicial mandates
taking the place of the legislative process.

And again the problem has been mischaracterized. Only one article I read ever got it right. Neutrality mandates are not "Obama era." They have applied for as long as telecoms have existed. And the FCC was established largely for this purpose. Maybe we have more than just one giant AT&T now, but we still have local monopolies, or maybe two companies, for fixed broadband. For reasons that have nothing to do with regs.
