This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.

It's new and different. Essentially the same proposal (with some differences, the earlier one would have affected single line BBSes) was dropped a couple of months ago. Then the chairman of the FCC left (quit, resigned, fired, I don't know). The new chairman decided to reopen the issue, and has quite a bit of backing behind him. For more details, see Friday's Wall Street Journal or drop by BPForum (GO BPForum) and check out their FCC DL for the text of the article.
