While there is little doubt that FCC is well-intended, the assessment by many of what it is the process of achieving is notably less enthusiast. See : http://www.laquadrature.net/en/us-fails-to-offer-convincing-net-neutrality-p... or Public Knowledge's view blow. Philippe --- Net Neutrality: A Lost Opportunity --- Dear PK Supporter, Today the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had an opportunity to put the interests of ordinary citizens above the profit margins of cable and telephone companies. Unfortunately, they decided to punt on the hard questions[http://bit.ly/es7hId]. In the words of FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, "I pray that our timidity will not undermine the spirit of the Order that we are adopting." This was supposed to be an FCC that fought for you, instead it has forced you to fight for yourself. They created rules filled with loopholes and undefined terms. The FCC did not have the courage to ban bad practices outright. They merely suggested that Internet Service Providers shouldn't set up toll roads or discriminate too badly, but did not guarantee the right to an open Internet. It is possible that the FCC may find its courage in enforcement, as they did in the Comcast-BitTorrent case. But it is equally possible under these rules that a future FCC may permit those things that Chairman Genachowski has described as most harmful and abhorrent to an open Internet. We had hoped that we would be celebrating an end to the fight for an open Internet today. Instead, we find ourselves gearing up for future battles.

The FCC is one of these agencies that is still wearing a white hat. Not only is current action on Net Neutrality one of the most important times ever for the FCC, it's probably the most momentous and watched action of any government agency in memorable times in terms of setting our perception of whether the government represents the wealthy powers or the average citizen, of whether the government is good or is bad.
