54 FCC, GN Dkt. Nos. 14-28 & 10-127, at 10 (Feb. 19, 2015). Because “[t]he interconnection point is simply a literal extension of the [broadband provider’s network],” COMPTEL explained, “applying the same open Internet rules to the point of interconnection is a logical extension of the 2010 Open Internet Order and clearly in line with the Commission’s . . . proposal [in the NPRM].” Id.

The Commission overcame this problem in the Order by reclassifying broadband
