The FCC has called off negotiations with major Internet industry players
to arrive at a compromise for net neutrality. The meetings were an
attempt to come to an amicable agreement over net neutrality rules and
dodge political pressure over FCC jurisdiction and authority--but asking
the fox how to protect the henhouse is generally unwise.

Reports of a secret deal between Verizon and Google for preferential
treatment of Google traffic  on Verizon's networks may have been a
catalyst to the breakdown of negotiations. But, whether that is true or
not, the end of the negotiations is great for the future of the
Internet. The FCC is supposed to provide guidance and oversight of these
Internet industry stakeholders--not the other way around.
