As 'Star Wars' Bleeds Into The Net Neutrality Saga, Here's How To Forge A Lasting Peace

[Commentary] So long as the Federal Communications Commission is run by majority rule, members of the first faction will never achieve lasting protections to their liking; the pendulum will continue to swing with changes in the White House. The solution is obvious: Congress needs to give the FCC (or the Net Tribunal) a clear mandate to define appropriate ISP and tech platform behavior and to police it. Until that day comes, we will have more heart-pounding installments of the net neutrality saga than Star Wars.
