America’s communications industry comprises, like health care, roughly one-sixth of our economy.

The FCC’s power grab was dealt a stunning setback this week in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, who rejected the agency’s asserted authority to regulate the Internet. However, this is an ideological fight, and the true-believers on the left will not let it rest simply because of a little thing like the law.
