The best quote in this article comes from FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler when he said "I buy a pipe. Nobody can mess with that." I guess this confirms what we've all suspected for years, the FCC is on the pipe.
While the FCC’s latest proposal doesn’t specifically authorize fast lanes, it didn’t have to: they’re already legal. ISPs can charge Web services like Netflix (“edge providers” in regulatory parlance) for a faster path to consumers over the last mile of the network because there aren’t any enforceable rules against it.
