SOME COMMENTARY.

The world is boasted by its seemingly infinite share of cosmic irony.

Recently, and by "this month recent", the 'good fight' in the name of net neutrality has reached a breakthrough. Tom Wheeler, resident misled head of the Federal Communications Comission, has finally decided enough is enough of relentlessly pandering to Internet Service Providers and is currently spearheading changes to their policies that would redefine providing Internet service a "telecommunications service" instead of an "information service."

How influential is this decision?

To put it kindly, enormous. (1)

By classifying the Internet, and allowing access therein to the Internet a telecommunications service, Internet Service Providers are now "common carriers" in legalese, that meaning they fall under the same policies for other common carriers which is a huge step towards net neutrality being enforced. (2) 

Who wants this to happen? Us.

Who doesn't want this to happen? Go on, gander a guess.

And it's not just Comcast.

All of the big names are opposed to this decision in some way or another - AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, et al. Tom Wheeler, on the other hands, is particularly adamant that he isn't going to pay the lobbyists -- or the bribes -- any heed in his pending decision with the FCC, which is set to reach its final decision late this Feburary.

For the rest of us, we can only wait in quiet trepidation that all will be well.
