A First Look Inside the Net Neutrality Order

[Commentary] I recently posted an item summarizing the broad strokes of the Federal Communications Commission’s new “Open Internet” (aka net neutrality) rules and policies. Since the full text of those rules, and the accompanying Report and Order (“R&O”), had not been released when my summary was prepared, I had to work from the then-available public notices from the FCC. Now that the R&O is out, I’ve had a chance to slog through its 360+ pages of dense text, which has led me to one obvious conclusion: the R&O raises as many questions as it attempts to answer.
