http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... May 5, 2010, 6:39 p.m. EDT FCC to move to preserve Net neutralityBy John Letzing, MarketWatch SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski has opted to try to re-regulate the Internet in an effort to preserve so-called Net neutrality, a senior FCC official said Wednesday. The commission will now seek to regulate Internet lines by selectively using rules originally written for traditional phone networks, in order to prevent service providers from hindering traffic and blocking access to certain Web sites. The FCC official said Genachowski will outline a "third way," which would apply only a "small handful" of rules under Title II of the Communications Act to the Internet. This is intended "to fulfill the previously stated agenda of extending broadband to all Americans, protecting consumers, ensuring fair competition and preserving a free and open Internet," the official added. Genachowski is expected to make a related announcement Thursday. --- More at link: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/fcc-reportedly-to-move...
