This is nuts. Maybe the court ruling is correct that the FCC lacks authority to enforce net neutrality, but we have to somehow figure out how to put an end to this madness.
It is a case that has much greater implications than just unfair treatment of traffic, and no I do not mean interference with the national broadband initiative. I am speaking of the precedent it sets.
Unfortunately, still a great deal of the country has no idea about this issue, what this means and it will go unnoticed. Even if it does come into the lime-light of issues (doubtful), because of the lack of understanding by the majority of constituents in this country it will be such an easy topic to spin.
I hope this thing gets settled in congress, as it has been suggested and attempted by civil-rights groups. Whatever precedence gets set, it will spread to Europe too, and I really hope a mistake like this doesn't determine the way westerners get to use internet in the future :-S

Depressing.
