Is Apple creating the FCC's worst fear?: "It's election time in Washington, and you can almost smell the campaign contributions - and the political causes that generate them. In this light, both the Senate and the House want to take up telecom regulation again, playing on the FCC's recent decision to free the RBOCs from sharing their high-speed DSL and fiber to the home. The RBOCs want to charge extra for the QoS needed for services such as premium video. The 'we want everything for free crowd' wants (no surprise) QoS for free. It may be that Apple has already cast the deciding vote."
