FCC Wants Power. Denied! The FCC is in my opinion A Waste of time! I'm a proud Comcast user and now even prouder. As they liked the ruling as do I. I'm glad it was thrown out it should have been. Why is this Administration is trying to control everything? It's making voters angry. If I want to talk about the news, etc I should be able to. I am a American and I enjoy my freedom and my internet freedom.

I might be wrong on this, but didn't at&t establish a defacto monopoly on telecommunication before being broken up and the industry being regulated?

There're arguments they still exercise such a monopoly (with VoIP being the main contender, such as it is). There was a lawsuit that got dismissed (targeted for a tightening of pleading requirements) that alleged continued conspiracies to keep third parties out of the market, and to not invade the others' markets. Never proven as it got dismissed before discovery, unfortunately.
