Obama's call for an open Internet puts him at odds with regulators
(WashPost): http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/11/11/the-fcc-weighs-breaking-with-obama-over-the-future-of-the-internet/
Hours after President Obama called for the Federal Communications
Commission to pass tougher regulations on high-speed Internet
providers, the agency's Democratic chairman told a group of business
executives that he was moving in a different direction ... "What you
want is what everyone wants: an open Internet that doesn't affect your
business," a visibly frustrated Wheeler said at the meeting, according
to four people who attended. "What I've got to figure out is how to
split the baby."

After all, Wheeler can't afford to disappoint his former bosses, to
whom we can wager he will return for the *really* big bucks once he
leaves the FCC.
