FCC boss stumps for free and open internet
Comcast begs to differ - in court
By Rik Myslewski in San Francisco

CES 2010 On Friday morning, Comcast asked a US court to strike down a
2008 Federal Communications Commission order to stop blocking
subscribers' heavy use of its services, saying that the FCC had exceeded
its authority. On Friday afternoon, during a casual interview at the
Consumer Electronics Show, the response from the FCC chairman was: "No
comment, but..."

Chairman Julius Genachowski seized the opportunity to reiterate the
FCC's net-neutrality goals and reasoning to his interlocuter, Consumer
Electronics Association president and CEO Gary Shapiro.

When Shapiro asked him his opinion of Comcast's argument that the FCC
didn't have authority to dictate to them how to run their business -
"There was simply no federal law to interpret, enforce, or apply against
Comcast," were Comcast's words - Genachowski danced away from the
question. "The litigation underscores for me the importance of
developing sensible rules of the road around a free and open internet
that people understand," he said, adding that "we'll obviously watch
what happens with the court and act accordingly."

I disagree.
It's your post that's off-topic for alt.internet.wireless.

Disagree all you want. That won't make it relevant.

Pointing out off-topic posts isn't off-topic itself, silly.

Done and done. Please take your own advice in the future.
