FCC Net Neutrality
April 24, 2014 by staff
FCC Net Neutrality, The chair of the U.S. communications regulator is defending proposed new net neutrality rules that would allow internet providers to charge content providers for priority access to customers provided the agreement is “commercially reasonable.”
“To be very direct, the proposal would establish that behaviour harmful to consumers or competition by limiting the openness of the internet will not be permitted,” Tom Wheeler, chair of the Federal Communications Commission, wrote in a blog post.
Wheeler said there has been a lot of misinformation about the notice of proposed rules that will be circulated to commission members today.
Most of the criticism has been directed at a rule that would allow deals between content providers and internet providers on the way traffic is delivered to customers across the connection to the customer’s home, known as the “last mile,” provided the deals are “commercially reasonable.”
“The notice will propose rules that establish a high bar for what is ‘commercially reasonable,'” Wheeler wrote.
