There are no "decency" rules that I saw in the proposed legislation. If that were the case then an effort would be required to eliminate it. I am not fond of federal government generally, but Markey, Wyden, et al. were trying to promote good "hands off" legislation.

As it stands, I don't buy James' "feds:bad vs. telcos:good" argument, as the telcos are currently in the process of writing more legislation. Under the current Republican strangehold on the legislative and executive branches, it is the corporate lobbyists who write most of the legislation. The worst of both worlds.
