The FCC's Threat to Internet Freedom

Robert M. McDowell: The FCC's Threat to Internet Freedom - WSJ.com

Hmm.  Shouldn't Congress be legislating, not the FCC?  Where does the Constitution give the FCC these powers.  Where does the Constitution give us the FCC?

Excerpt:

Nothing is broken that needs fixing, however. The Internet has been open and freedom-enhancing since it was spun off from a government research project in the early 1990s. Its nature as a diffuse and dynamic global network of networks defies top-down authority. Ample laws to protect consumers already exist. Furthermore, the Obama Justice Department and the European Commission both decided this year that net-neutrality regulation was unnecessary and might deter investment in next-generation Internet technology and infrastructure.
