John Sundman has a great eyewitness account of the FCC's history-making hearing at Harvard, and Harold Feld has a detailed analysis of it. Both are at Wetmachine.
Susan Crawford points out that the framing was all wrong. She writes:
Then there's David Weinberger's complete live-blogging coverage here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

Susan Crawford points out that the framing was all wrong. She writes:
Even the most pro-public interest of the five commissioners, Cmmr. Copps, talks only about a case-by-case adjudication by the FCC of the "rules of the road" for "reasonable network management.". . . and she concludes . . .

These are communications networks (or should be), transport functions - not “media.” We subject communications networks to regulation for the good of all; if we hadn’t acted that way, the internet would never have come into being.
