Will The FCC Break The Internet?

[Commentary] Actions speak louder than words. The world is watching to see where the Federal Communications Commission’s actions will lead international telecommunications regulators going forward. Will FCC leadership reinforce the successful Internet policy status quo? Or will the FCC reverse course and risk breaking the global Internet by leading international telecommunications regulators to price-regulate their sovereign parts of the global Internet to restore the national postal and telecom utilities of the 20th century? History will be the judge of the FCC’s actions, not its words.
