What could go wrong? Brad Thor has an unsettling reminder about who's now regulating the Internet

The FCC has approved President Obama’s net neutrality plan by a 3-2 vote:

Federal regulators moved forward on Thursday with a Net neutrality plan to protect openness on the Internet by treating the online world more like heavily regulated telecommunications markets.
[…]
Courts have struck down earlier Net neutrality efforts, saying the FCC lacked authority to impose such rules. So this time around, the FCC chose to categorize high-speed Internet service as a telecommunications service.

The “plan” and the process for its approval was anything but transparent.
