The FCC and Net Neutrality: A Way Forward
(EFF): https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/06/fcc-and-net-neutrality-way-forward
So that leads us back to the FCC. While Congress does its work,
antitrust lawyers weigh options, and Internet users work to promote
competition, empower community solutions, and ensure transparency, the
FCC can be acting to enforce a few rules of the road that target the
non-neutral behavior we're already beginning to see from Internet
service providers. We want to be very, very clear: the FCC's
regulatory role should be narrow and firmly bounded. Network
neutrality rules should be limited to specific prohibitions-such as
blocking, discrimination among applications and prohibiting special
access fees-potentially combined with a renewed "open access"
requirement that would foster local competition, and no more.
Luckily, the FCC has a way to bind itself and thereby limit its own
regulatory reach. It's called "forbearance."
