Vote on and then finish writing the order is not new at all at FCC. The writer might have just found it, it seems. The short notice for some of the commissioners is a problem getting attention lately, and I would say that it is a problem when a commissioner complains like this. Also, I was not sure why the issues of FCC's jurisdiction and scope of FCC's unregulation were mixed up. It is hard to believe that Commissioner McDowell would be confused about it. Is it then the writer who is confused?
...OK, now I have checked the statement by comissioner McDowell and he writes "I agree that we do have jurisdiction, in general, over these areas. However, we do not have any rules governing Internet network management to enforce." So it was the Register's write who got confused about this.
