I started reading it but it is quite tedious. Pai has his summary policy and legal docs released today - also at fcc.gov. I guess I didn’t read far enough to see the part he mentions that frightened me “for the first time FCC will regulate the rates that ISPs may charge and will set a rate of zero for certain commercial agreements”. What?

EFF claims that there are only 8 pages of actual regs in the document (this was posted yesterday, before the release). So, is the meat just 8 pages?

“Early reports pegged the new order at 300 pages, but we now know that only 8 pages are actual regulatory text. The source of confusion—which even got us in the past few weeks—is that the whole order is over 300 pages, but consists almost entirely of the record of factual findings by the FCC and responses to comments they received. Opponents of net neutrality have boosted the “300 page” number to suggest onerous complexity, but that’s not the case.”

I dunno, legalese gives me an eyeball headache. It’ll get deciphered—eventually. i would like to know why it took the FCC so long to spit this out, though.
