> Wheeler suggests that the “unreasonable discrimination” rule would be flimsy and could lead to abuse.
Oh, but "commercially reasonable rates" isn't a flimsy rule that could lead to abuse? This actually exposes the sham Wheeler has orchestrated. If one is flimsy, then so is the other, and he seems to understand both are flimsy, but he protects his commercially reasonable rate rule, while fights against the unreasonable discrimination one, because he thinks the latter may actually be less flimsy than the former, and he knows carriers wouldn't like that. So he doesn't want people to start pushing for that one instead.
That's not the only way to bring net neutrality, though. Reclassifying ISPs are common carriers would do that, too, and I think it would also be much easier to have small ISPs come and use Comcast or whoever's cables, and therefore more competition, too. Two birds with one stone.
