The Far-Reaching Effects of Comcast v FCC

eldavojohn writes "We've had a lot of discussion about what the overturning of FCC v Comcast means for net neutrality, but CommLawBlog argues that net-neut is just the tip of the iceberg as far as the effects of this ruling. In the National Broadband Plan, local TV broadcasters might be forced to give up their spectrum 'voluntarily' to be repurposed for broadband; this decision diminishes the FCC's authority to cut such deals. Another issue at stake is how this will affect the FCC's approval of Comcast's acquisition of NBC."

net-neut

As the submitter, let the record show that I am not the originator of that term. I wash my hands of that wordsmithing and relinquish all credit with coining that term to kdawson or wherever he found it.

Personally the shortened form of that term sounds a bit more like a collection tool employed at a veterinarian than an internet principle.
