No, we LOST. You see, once they have the power, they have the

I cannot imagine why industry is rolling over and playing dead for this.
As far as I'm concerned it's "come and arrest me, coppers" and I
will damn well NOT comply.
And if we all did that. They'd just give up. But we're too
chicken to stand up for ourselves, as a country, anymore,
apparently. I don't know when people forgot that according to the
Constitution, we tell the government what to do and where to get
off, not the other way around.
I repeat advice I mentioned once before (on 12/11). Stop identifying
your service as simply "Internet service". Define your service as
"online differentiated data services with managed Internet access",
and invite those who want a pure ISP to go elsewhere (yeah,
right). Since you are not licensed, and not holding yourself out as
a carrier, you can offer whatever you want. (Warning: IANAL.)
I also expect the FCC's policy to be enjoined promptly and overturned
slowly. It is a political game.
