Comcast Asks Congress To Pass Network Neutrality Bill (Kind Of...)

[Commentary] Comcast is suing over the Federal Communications Commission's ruling against their treatment of P2P traffic. This isn't surprising as there's been an argument brewing for a while that the FCC doesn't have the authority to deal with specific issues related to network management. Also, it's not like incumbent broadband providers to take any government ruling against them lying down. So in many ways it seemed inevitable that this P2P decision was going to go to court. But Members of Congress just introduced a Network Neutrality bill. Is it strange that Comcast based this lawsuit on an argument that the FCC doesn't have the authority to regulate network management techniques at basically the same time as Congress gets another opportunity to pass a law that would specifically empower the FCC with these responsibilities?
