On August20,2008,FCC made a landmark decision to order Comcast Corporation to end its prior discriminatory network management practices,and affirmed its authority to protect the Internet under Title I of the Communications Act of1934. In this order,FCC states that it has discretion to choose between adjudication and rulemaking,and can exercise its ancillary jurisdic-tion over a broadband Internet access service provider’s unreasonable network management practices,even though it is not a common carrier under Title II of the Act. However,the issue of what constitutes reasonable network management remains to be solved. Government author-ities should make the additional framework that is necessary to preserve the vibrant and open architecture of the Internet,and foster its progress in the future.
