Bureaucracy = slow to get innovative applications and investments going. With new investment in the net's backbone, it means more online news and music programming will be able to stream online without interference. This will actually help NPR. What will hurt NPR, in my view, is the royalty charges they will have to pay as indicated in the article you link to. The Hands Off statement means that government regulation means more bureaucracy.

It is a totally separate issue and the copyright royalty board is the culprit.
