"Proving himself the policy nerd who pundits deride, President Obama
has issued a comprehensive statement on network neutrality that covers
all of the points left uncovered in his generic praise for the policy
a few weeks back. The president is calling for the FCC to implement
Title II rules from the Telecommunications Act of 1934, which is what
the ISPs view as the nuclear option when it comes to network
neutrality rules. Such rules would seek to prevent ISPs from blocking
or slowing lawful content on both their last mile networks and at
interconnection points. The president also called for network
neutrality rules to apply to wireless networks, something that the
original Open Internet Order from 2010 didn't even do. These are some
pretty big calls for actions, and so far the ISPs aren't impressed."
