To me the most interesting part is this line: ...while at the same time forbearing from rate regulation and other provisions less relevant to broadband services. As I understood it the rate regulation is a critical component of what Mr Obama describes as an obligation not to exploit the monopoly they enjoy over access in and out of your home or business. If most broadband providers are still monopolies, how can the FCC effectively prevent them from abusing that monopoly without some form of rate regulation?
