Susan...can you clarify the basis on which a broadband provider has the power to determine what are "lawful content or applications?" In a post on IP & Democracy, (http://www.ipdemocracy.com/archives/000266ensign_bill_on_consumer_access_to_content_applications.php) I focused on a different set of provisions in Section 7 of the bill, and I'd appreciate your feedback on it and how it relates to your analysis. My reading is that, as the section is structured, subsection (a)(3) "overrides" the "authorization to block" contained in (a)(1)(C). Maybe I'm missing something.?? In any event, your comments reinforced my sense that this section of the bill (along with others) is bad law, for a number of reasons.
