Washington D.C. is a funny place (in the sense of "odd," not "humorous"); always has been. You learn to expect speeches devoid of content and infer what is important by what is not said. A recent speech by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski might be one of those sorts of occurrences.
There was no mention of "network neutrality" or "Title II regulation" of broadband access services. Rather, right out of the gate, there was a focus on "jobs." It might not be significant in a larger policy sense, but it could signal that the ambitious policy agenda has run into a wall. Agree or disagree with the agenda, the speech does not read to me like an indication of continuity.
