I think ultimately it will fail in the courts or the next Congress will rein the FCC in on this matter. The initial finding wasn't too onerous, but it was the proverbial "camel's nose under the tent". If it were to stand, the courts would have a lot of fun defining what "reasonable" network management means. My guess is that their definition will not be the same as mine.
If you are blocking content, streaming, competitive VoIP products, or degrading them to the point where they are useless, you probably have a target on your business. If you aren't, and are trying to make the experience work for everyone, and not allow a couple of heavy users to trash your network, you are probably ok.

I also agree that it is a flagrant overreach for the FCC but until it is overruled it is in place. Got to love the Governments "protection" of the small business owner. The government isn't trying to protect the small business owner - they're trying to protect the perceived interest of the majority of common citizens. A majority of citizens are using bigger carriers (cable companies and telcos), and that majority likely will benefit from these rules. Yes, it kinda stinks for smaller businesses, but them's the breaks sometimes. Anyone that has access to the members list care to comment on what WISPA is doing to ease compliance for small ISPs?
