On Thursday, the FCC proposed a "third way" to regulate broadband in light of the recent Comcast decision: narrowly reclassifying the transmission of data as a telecommunications service that the agency could directly regulate, balanced by a hands-off approach to other aspects.

[....]

The "Solomonic" approach, in the words of Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), is an attempt to strike a balance between the April Comcast ruling in which an appellate court said that the FCC's broadband plan extended the agency's powers beyond its legal charter. In recent weeks, the FCC has sought a way to overcome that limitation, urged on by representatives of both houses of Congress, while seeking to avoid another setback at the hands of the courts.

I do believe the whole point is to avoid corporate control.
