It was a win because the FCC did not decide to go after title-II reclassification.
Taking authority under Title I will only allow limited authority in my opinion, and their authority and decissions could be challenged in court. Considering that many believe that titleI does not give the authority. So likely FCC would take a more conservative appproach, while wallking the thin line between what they can do and not do without pissing someone off to go to court.

You see, once they have the power, they have the power. It is not a victory to be partially regulated, or to get "partial exemption". I cannot imagine why industry is rolling over and playing dead for this. As far as I'm concerned it's "come and arrest me, coppers" and I will damn well NOT comply. And if we all did that. They'd just give up. But we're too chicken to stand up for ourselves, as a country, anymore, apparently. I don't know when people forgot that according to the Constitution, we tell the government what to do and where to get off, not the other way around. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From: Joe Fiero Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 2:12 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: [WISPA] Flexible rules promised for wireless It's good to see all our efforts pay off. REUTERS updated 2 minutes ago 2010-12-20T21:45:55 WASHINGTON - The Federal Communications Commission is expected to adopt Internet traffic rules on Tuesday that would ban the blocking of lawful content, but allow high-speed Internet providers to manage their networks, senior agency officials said Monday. Commissioners Michael Copps and Mignon Clyburn had expressed concerns with the proposal laid out by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski early this month, but senior FCC officials said they had come to an agreement and are expected to vote in favor of the rules. Genachowski proposed banning the blocking of lawful traffic but allowing Internet providers to manage network congestion and charge consumers based on Internet usage. The rules would be more flexible for wireless broadband, Genachowski said in a previous speech, acknowledging that wireless is at an earlier stage of development than terrestrial Internet service. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
