This is just the commissioner starting a process to identify rules. This is the beginning of a long process to try and figure something out about OTT content.
"Specifically, I am asking the Commission to start a rulemaking proceeding in which we would modernize our interpretation of the term “multichannel video programming distributor” (MVPD) so that it is technology-neutral."
If you have opinions about what kinds of rules should be developed, then send them a comment.
I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say "solidify FCC control." The Internet is of course a global network, but the FCC already has tremendous regulatory authority over the Internet in the USA. They don't exercise much of that authority, and that's largely what the network neutrality debate is about.
