Well...
1. This is just removing a power from the FCC that the FCC has already
and repeatedly said they do not wish to use. (Granted, leaving it in
provides the potential for future abuse.)
2. The telephone companies are trying to put in an exemption for
voice-over-IP, as if to legitimize taxing that.
Still, it does do more good than harm, for once.
