It's so weird how nowadays "doing something" is now called the "nuclear option".

It used to be that politicians and bureaucrats made decisions that made a difference about things that mattered and people's lives were affected. We called that governing.

Now anything but stasis is "going nuclear".

It's a nuclear event, in the sense that the current playing field - of semi net-neutrality games - and the shadow legions of its players would be wiped.

It's an appropriate description.

Maybe Seattle could just move forward with municipal fiber to the premises, because "they" are creating congestion as a leverage point to extract money.

Common Carrier is not radical - it is exactly what the "information superhighway" is. Why do we always have to suck up to rentiers in this country?
