> Signs of more modest Net neutrality regulations include resignation

> Crawford's version of Net neutrality was too radical for White House
> economic adviser Lawrence Summers, contributing to her early

> Crawford, who has returned to the faculty of the University of
> Michigan Law School, told the CES audience that the proposed rules are
> not radical and are, in fact, necessitated by consolidation in the
