FCC Chair Unveils Net Neutrality Proposal That Verizon Dubs Radical
Posted in: UncategorizedU.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler said he will propose utility-style rules to ensure Internet service providers don’t interfere with subscribers’ Web traffic.
Mr. Wheeler, in an article published Wednesday on Wired.com, also said he would apply “bright-line rules” to mobile services for the first time. He said the agency would not seek to regulate pricing and would seek to modernize rules to encourage investment and competition.
“The Internet must be fast, fair and open,” Mr. Wheeler wrote Wednesday. “That is the message I’ve heard from consumers and innovators across this nation. That is the principle that has enabled the Internet to become an unprecedented platform for innovation and human expression.”
