With the anti-net neutrality people the new administration is putting in place in the FCC advisory committee, they just need to stall for a few months and it'll blow over. Then they can continue their anti-competitive ways in peace.

Good observation! This has clearly been a strategy for awhile, and has many benefits:
- Slowly keep the flames going over a preiod of time rather than have a big flare-up and burn-out all at once
- Give little pieces to particular influencers in the media to make friends so that big names are more likely to post positive reviews
- Get the biggest controversial pieces out there earlier (read: removing headphone jack) so that by the time the actually reveal is announced, it's old news that people have had a chance to chew on and accept, rather than have it surprise and anger them at the reveal (a la Kübler-Ross stages of acceptance)
- Keep everyone's eyes on the big reveal date
- Gets great press and PR and costs almost nothing, because it;s more fun for news blogs to post about hot rumors than press releases
In other words, it's a great marketing and PR strategy that works and is cheap.
