The FCC relied principally on Section 230(b) of the Communications Act to support the exercise of its ancillary jurisdiction over Comcast's broadband Internet service.

The FCC relies first and foremost on Section 230(b) of the Communications Act to support its exercise of ancillary jurisdiction to regulate Comcast's broadband Internet service. That provision was previously cited in FCC orders almost exclusively for its policy directive that the agency "preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the Internet and other interactive computer services, unfettered by Federal or State regulation."besbinSat, 06 Sep 2008 15:44:25 -0000
