The FCC action is designed to let all sides declare victory, because it's a slap on the wrist but *no fines* or actual 
punishment. The Commission wants to assert jurisdiction, but to keep Congress out of the picture they'll now have to 
undergo a notice-and-comment rulemaking. So it can't really do anything right now except hold press events and issue 
strong statements. But whatever entertains the people is fine.
