and it wasn't until the classification of cable modem service and then the reclassification of dsl in 2005 that people started to say, why did we do this? i think there's an important point out. the brand x decision was a decision in 2005 where the supreme court said -- the supreme court looked at the f.c.c.'s cable modem decision, the decision to classify it as a service, they said this isn't the greatest decision but it's not arbitrary and capricious. it's not in plain english, totally wacky. and i think people misconstrue that brand x case. all the supreme court did is say the f.c.c. has the discretion to interpret the communications act. even though it's not the best interpretation, as long as it's not wacky, we have to uphold it. and i think that's what's going to happen here. okay? well, i think it's going to be better here. we reclassify. we'll inevitably be taken to court. and the court will say whether or not they agree with our reclassification, that is not wacky, not arbitrary capricious. an independent agency has the abilities and the legal right to determine what its auth

but dsl service -- which both at&t verizon operated under -- was in title ii service until 2005 when chairman martin after the case had gone all the way to the supreme court and ended up in the brand x case decided that dsl would be similarly deregulated. so it's not like they don't know how to live under this regime and, in fact, this regime is lighter touch, okay? it's only going to apply a hand. of provisions of -- handful of provisions of title ii, especially a lighter touch than they lived with 12 years ago. comcast similarly, you know they low the rules. this gives them the certainty that we haven't had now for over ten years and frankly even longer than that. it's really been about 15 years now that people have been advocating, first it was called open access then it was could net neutrality. so to put this thing to bed finally after 15 years, i think the companies will find that more salutary than they're acting right now. >> host: when you founded public knowledge in 2001 was net neutrality one of your key goals? >> guest: yeah, it was. >> host: title ii net neutrality? >> g
