FCC Votes to Move Forward with Net Neutrality Process
Posted October 26th, 2009 by sdowLate last week the FCC voted unanimously to move forward to the next phase on the rule making process regarding net neutrality. The vote will allow the FCC to begin formulating new regulations which, advocates maintain, will prevent Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from favoring certain Internet destinations over others in the traffic which moves across their networks. The new regulations will be based on the FCC's current open Internet principles, but add principles which would prevent favored treatment of sites and/or applications with special benefits to the ISP.
