Net Blackout Could Lead to New Regulations

The fussin' and feudin' between Level 3 Communications that led to Level 3 shutting down their peering connection last week has some in Congress upset. Just what the net doesn't need: a nice fat layer of bureaucracy. What dunderheaded move by Level 3, pissing off their customers ("you shut off a good portion of our internet connectivity because you're in a pissy mood?!?") and the folks in government with the power to make their lives unpleasant.
