The new regulations will:

• Recognize the transmission component of broadband access service—and only this component—as a telecommunications service;

• Apply only a handful of provisions of Title II (Sections 201, 202, 208, 222, 254, and 255) that, prior to the Comcast decision, were widely believed to be within the Commission’s purview for broadband;

• Simultaneously renounce—that is, forbear from—application of the many sections of the Communications Act that are unnecessary and inappropriate for broadband access service; and

• Put in place up-front forbearance and meaningful boundaries to guard against regulatory overreach.
