The concluding paragraph being:

"The FCC's actions are a welcome baby step toward privacy rights, but hardly in 
the same category as tough data protection rules passed in December by the 
European Commission. 'Europe's approach to privacy is much stronger than in the 
United States,' Peter Church, a technology lawyer in London, told the New York 
Times. 'There's a fundamental difference in culture when it comes to privacy.'"

Sounds to me like the steps the FCC wants to take are the least they can do, 
Craig. The article hardly shares your libertarian ideas. And what's more, since 
you mentioned it, we can always lobby the FCC to do a lot more.
