"In an in-depth blog post written in the wake of Wheeler’s initial comments, Stanford Law School professor Barbara van Schewick argued that critics of the FCC’s proposed rulemaking were right to speak up and that the agency should seriously consider reclassifying internet access as a public utility, despite having declined to take that approach previously. “If the FCC is serious about protecting the open internet, it needs to do its due diligence and seriously explore all available options, and that requires asking real questions about reclassification in the upcoming notice of proposed rulemaking,” she wrote."
