Court Ruling Points Way To Broadband Regulation

DarkHelmet writes "An article on CNET News indicates: 'A U.S. appeals court has rejected the Federal Communications Commission's request to rehear a case, in a move that could prompt local governments to regulate the cable industry.' The piece explains: 'The rejection could pave the way for municipalities to force cable companies to share their broadband Internet lines with third parties.' I personally can't wait for companies like Speakeasy to branch into the Cable Internet market and provide 10-100mbps service."

what is your point?
We dont want to see our politicians blindly pointing fingers and playing the blame game. It just isn't good politics.
Which makes me wonder, what are we doing right NOW to prevent an attack that could come TOMORROW? Seems like we are obsessed with what happened in the past instead of taking care of the future.
