WARNING: it is HUGE! (2.6 Meg Download)

I must say I'm more bothered by the 400 pages of densely written text than the 2.6MB download. So I scanned the first few pages and decided to wait for the inevitable storm of complaints/comments.

Then I might read parts of it to determine which side is right!

The open Internet drives the American economy and serves, every day, as a critical tool
for America’s citizens to conduct commerce, communicate, educate, entertain, and engage in the world
around them. The benefits of an open Internet are undisputed. But it must remain open: open for
commerce, innovation, and speech; open for consumers and for the innovation created by applications
developers and content companies; and open for expansion and investment by America’s broadband
providers. For over a decade, the Commission has been committed to protecting and promoting an open
Internet.

What ever....
