In the new Legal Times, Bruce Fein offers us the highly insightful article,
How to Block Broadband: If you want to stall the network, please pass a host of state net neutrality laws.
Bruce argues that local neutrality laws would be not only detrimental to development and innovation but also unconstitutional. As he says:
These attacks are clearly pre-empted by the Constitution, federal statutes, and the open-market broadband policies of the Federal Communications Commission. They should also be pre-empted by wise policy and common sense: By balkanizing the regulation of national broadband service, these efforts risk either arresting important technological innovation or saddling subscribers with the costs of expanding the broadband network.
