FCC article

Here is a Progress Snapshot from the FCC released December 2006 entitled Net Neutrality and the Role of States. The US Supreme's Court deicision, Brand X, and Orders from the FCC have declared that broadband Internet services are informational services and immune from state regulations. Basically, Federal laws would block any State laws on net neutrality. Both Missouri and Minnesota have tried to regulate broadband services with net neutrality but have failed. This article is basically opposing net neutrality. So is Big Ed's Swan Song right? Does it only matter how much companies contribute to campaigns and they get to call the shots? Looks like there will never be any federal laws made for net neutrality.
