"But now we face the really hard part: making sure the FCC doesn’t abuse its authority." I just feel that the EFF didn't do a thorough check this time around.

"But now we face the really hard part: making sure the FCC doesn’t abuse its authority." I just feel that the EFF didn't do a thorough check this time around. Also, the decision was made at 10AM and they still haven't release the 200+ pages ruling document. It's most likely that this will head back to federal court and the process will get more complicated and lengthy before the dust settle.

Wow, you're all over the place with this comment. EFF didn't do a through check? What did they miss? The "decision" made at 10AM was to adopt the rules that have been under public comment for months. If you haven't seen them yet, it's your own fault. Yes this will go to court. Do you expect any better from America?

  > The "decision" made at 10AM was to adopt the rules that have been under public comment for months. If you haven't seen them yet, it's your own fault. From what I've read, the 322 page document wasn't released as of 3 days ago [1]. I'm not sure about the claim that it still hasn't been released, but regardless - the rules weren't really available for public review before the vote.

    The NPRM was published in May. If it had gone through another comment phase, it would have taken another 9 months... And then another nine months...

"But now we face the really hard part: making sure the FCC doesn’t abuse its authority." This is my fear. We're celebrating government interference and more regulation. It may feel good now but beware. Now that the internet is under FCC rule, they can and will abuse it this power in a negative way. Mark my words. Also when do the peasants get to view the 332 pages hidden from public view?
