Normally the utilities do not own the dirt, they own the  poles.  So utility 
ROW access is explicitly called out however that means poles in my view.  
However, the act makes you a  utility so local ROW owners have to give  you 
equal access to the same underground ROWs.

I was saying that previously if I wanted all that crap (including pole 
attachment), I could file to be a CLEC to get that. I didn't want all that 
crap, so I didn't file.

I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Is buried ROW access included or just 
pole attachments?

Not so sure about that Jon. Pushing it down to merely SD is not blocking or 
otherwise rendering the traffic unusable. SD is perfectly usable, though 
consumer might not find it desirable. I think a wireless provider can make an 
effective case for forcing streaming to SD under the management clauses of 
this order, because it is an action taken to preserve the ability of all 
subscribers to have useable connections.

The ban on throttling is necessary both to fulfill the reasonable expectations

Seems pretty clear.

I have a competitor that was using a Procera device to degrade Youtube by 
throttling streams back to SD (though it seems like they stopped sometime since 
I last checked the Youtube VQR). Seems like that wouldn't be considered

If a practice is primarily motivated by such an other justification, such as a

users based solely on the particular plan to which the user has subscribed,558 
then that practice will not be considered under this exception.

I'm sure that I am not reading everything in this document correctly but that 
section in bold seems to indicate that it would be allowed to limit something 
such as streaming video to SD BUT it would have to be on all offered plans and 
would need to be all streaming video, not just Youtube.

The first thing I thought when I read that section was that customers (if they

  The flip side of this, I've experimented with Netflix on the PS3 and PC quite 
a bit on my home router. As a result, I've set L7 tagging and QoS rules to keep 
Netflix from going nuts while preventing buffering on my edge router.

  My config essentially guaranteed 3Mbps for streaming video, but limited it to 
a max of 3Mbps. Problem I run into is I need a hotter router.

  Depending on the interpretation, my QoS rule that improves streaming video 
could be construed as throttling.

Seems pretty clear. 



I have a competitor that was using a Procera device to degrade Youtube by 
throttling streams back to SD (though it seems like they stopped sometime since 
I last checked the Youtube VQR). Seems like that wouldn't be considered 
reasonable network management under this.

The flip side of this, I've experimented with Netflix on the PS3 and PC quite a 
bit on my home router. As a result, I've set L7 tagging and QoS rules to keep 
Netflix from going nuts while preventing buffering on my edge router.

My config essentially guaranteed 3Mbps for streaming video, but limited it to a 
max of 3Mbps. Problem I run into is I need a hotter router.

Depending on the interpretation, my QoS rule that improves streaming video 
could be construed as throttling.

this order, because it is an action taken to preserve the ability of all

We are preparing to implement port 25 blocking
Aside from the fact that we are so small as to not even be a blip, this is
technically now a protected service?
Verizon does it on DSL, will they have to pull the filters?

I would hope this is covered under effective network managment as it
partially eliminates illegal traffic, while still leaving equally similar
pathways for legitimate traffic on othe rports or protocols.

But then the problem comes in of SLA customers that it is open to, would
that not be considered paid for prioritization of similar service (fast
lane)?

 I’m sure that I am not reading everything in this document “correctly” but
 that section in bold seems to indicate that it would be allowed to limit
 something such as streaming video to SD BUT it would have to be on all

 The first thing I thought when I read that section was that customers (if

Y’all now have the rights to pole contacts and rights of way. Even though it 
says ROWs controlled by a utility, I am pretty sure that public entities cannot 
discriminate against all you telecommunications providers and have to treat you 
equal to the others. Just cite “network neutrality” rules if they balk. 

56. Section 224: Ensuring Infrastructure Access. For broadband Internet access 
service, we 
do not forbear from section 224 and the Commission’s associated procedural 
rules (to the extent they 
apply to telecommunications carriers and services and are, thus, within the 
Commission’s forbearance 
authority).53 Section 224 of the Act governs the Commission’s regulation of 
pole attachments. In 
particular, section 224(f)(1) requires utilities to provide cable system 
operators and telecommunications 
carriers the right of “nondiscriminatory access to any pole, duct, conduit, or 
right-of-way owned or 
controlled” by a utility.54 Access to poles and other infrastructure is crucial 
to the efficient deployment of 
communications networks including, and perhaps especially, new entrants.
