With the Tuesday ruling, by the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, going Comcast’s way, the members of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) have started working on a re-launch of their broadband-related strategy.

Since the court verdict said that the existing laws give limited power to the FCC to police broadband traffic and instruct Internet providers how to manage their networks, uncertainty looms large over some components of the National Broadband Plan proposed by the FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski.

The FCC, which can either appeal against the court’s ruling or try and work around the verdict, said in a Wednesday statement that it will do away with some “net neutrality” proposals like cybersecurity, privacy, and consumer-protection.

By giving the ruling in Comcast’s favor, the court has reaffirmed the company’s argument that ‘heavy’ high-speed Internet traffic can slow down the whole network system and needs intervention by the provider – a verdict that will also benefit Comcast competitors like AT&T and Time Warner.

Meanwhile, though Internet content firms like Google, video sites and other services, support the FCC’s “net neutrality” proposal underlining the even-handed treatment of Web content; broadband providers opine that excessive federal regulation of Web pricing or traffic management would adversely affect their ability to reap notable returns on the substantial investments they make in their networks.
