I¹ve heard the Order called a lot of things but an ³exciting read" is not one of them. Maybe War and Peace without the plot or character. BTW is not the world record. There is one that is over 700 pages on Universal Service and Intercarrier Compensation. That said it is useful to point out that this ³thing² is a result of some very peculiar aspects of US Communications Law and the unique way the US courts have interpreted it. In the 10 years or so this has been debated there actually was rough consensus on some general principals on how to treat IP traffic and allow the regulator to intervene when someone did something stupid. The question was never should IP traffic be regulated it was how, what was the scope and under what Authority to Act and could that Authority be ³Legally Defensible². That said some of us should have a lucrative side business writing Expert Opinion Letters defining what is ³reasonable network management². Philip makes a interesting point. There is a strong line of argument running around our DC swamplands that the original lawsuit challenging the FCC 2010 Open Internet Order should never been filed. The original order was not that bad and ISP should have just sucked it up, moved on and we would not have the further endless litigation we are presented with.
