>the FCC is now trying to claw back their argument How so? Based on what I've read, I've gotten the impression that the Internet will be primarily regulated by the FTC, instead of the FCC. That would mean that ISPs aren't able to engage in anticompetitive practices, but are pretty free otherwise. I haven't heard anything about states' standing on the issue. Unless there are explicit federal laws saying that the government can't regulate the Internet (which seems unlikely), it's pretty cut-and-dried that states would be able to pass legislation to affect ISPs in their jurisdiction.
