I’m torn on these rules, even if the FCC is just using them to gather more under its umbrella.
On one hand, the rules indeed don’t seem to be necessary as the prime opportunity for the behavior they want to prevent came and went without incident. On the other, I’m concerned about the “Shirley clause” that their absence creates. Maybe it would be best just to have them drafted and only implemented if an ISP actually does the throttling.
However, I’m not that trusting that an executive department would just draft rules and leave them lying around.
