FCC가 2005년 인터넷상에서 콘텐츠, 애플리케이션, 단말기의 비차별적 접속을 보장하기 위해 망중립성 4원칙을 발표한 이후 망중립성 원칙의 타당성에 대한 찬반 논란이 계속되어 왔다. 2008년에는 Comcast의 파일공유사이트 접속 차단 조치에 대해서 FCC가 망중립성 원칙 위반행위로 판정하여 중지 명령(Comcast order)을 내린 바 있다. 그러나 2010년 4월 사법부가 2008년 FCC의 Comcast order를 무효화함에 따라 망중립성 원칙 적용을 시도하던 FCC의 노력이 무산될 위기에 놓여 있다. 본 고에서는 FCC의 망중립성 원칙 제시 배경과 추진 경과, 사법부의 최근 판결내용, 이해당사자의 찬반 논란을 살펴보고 향후 망중립성 원칙의 법적 근거를 마련하기 위한 FCC의 선택지(option)를 전망하고자 한다.

This paper examines how Sedgwick makes a political allegory of founding the nation in domestic terms in The Linwoods (1835). Set in the Revolutionary period, The Linwoods is a historical fiction reconstructed by the writer in order to diagnose currently controversial issues. In this aspect, Sedgwick's interest in history is genealogical in Foucaudian sense. Foucault's genealogical method provides a way of recuperating a part of history hidden, submerged, obliterated by the official history. Seen in a genealogical perspective, the story of the Linwoods can be viewed as a political allegory in order to explore political conflicts of Sedgwick's own day. Faced with the threat of national disunion presented in the Nullification Crisis of sectional conflicts and divisions, Sedgwick attempts to provide a fictional solution to the first serious challenge to the U. S. Constitution. Going back to the times around the American Revolution, Sedgwick emphasizes how strenuously the American Constitution of America was formed as the outcome of the war against the tyranny of Britain, and how the Union was made on the basis of the cooperation between the States. By posing a contrast of political positions between family members, Sedgwick imagines a family/nation that allows diverse political positions. The conclusion of a diversity of marriages between man and woman who agree to be united after overcoming their differences in political affiliations seems to show her conservative proclivity to support the Union. However, by emphasizing the principles of freedom and equality represented by the significant role of Isabella and Rose, an African-American slave, in the victory of the American Revolution, Sedgwick also supports the spirit of the Jacksonian American democracy.
