[NNagain] Small ISP Carve Out

IMO the argument in seeking additional forbearance is that if all ISPs, no
matter the size, have a similar minimum burden of regulatory filing and
that burden is large, it acts as a barrier to entry. In a perfect world the
rules can apply to all sizes of ISPs *and* not be burdensome.

To keep this on topic, why is Title II (the burden WISPA rejects, not
necessarily the Net Neutrality goals TII espouses) the only way to achieve
NN?

On a related note, I observe that neither WISPA nor NTCA have weighed in on
neutrality per se. When I spoke to David Zumwalt last week in Vegas
(current WISPA President/CEO) he was surprised to hear that there are ISPs
and vendors active in the wireless and small fiber provider markets that
are actively advocating for, selling and deploying non-net-neutral traffic
management solutions. Perhaps WISPA is avoiding taking a stance on pure NN
ideals.

$boilerplate not necessarily the opinions of my employer and/or ancestors,
