> that little FCC sticker or embossed logo on your router

is evidence of the FCC's jurisdiction over the router manufacturer. Not evidence of jurisdiction over my private home network, or whatever packet management I decide to do inside my home network.

If the FCC decided to take me to Court because I'm throttling packets *inside* my home network, the first thing they'd have to do is pass the initial two hurdles in front of the Court: Show Standing and Show a Tort.

I'm throttling packets inside my home network. Sometimes I shut off the router, and my home network becomes completely unusable. Is there Standing for the FCC here? Where is the Tort? Who is being harmed by my network management actions?
