Net neutrality is the idea that Internet providers should not move some
content faster than others or enter into paid agreements with companies such as
Netflix to prioritize their data.
Today, in an editorial on Wired, FCC
Chairman Tom Wheeler laid out his proposal to bring net neutrality rules to wired
and wireless broadband services! The
Chairman said that his proposal will regulate wired and mobile broadband
under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934. The proposed net neutrality rules would
prohibit broadband providers from charging websites for faster delivery of
their content and from blocking or slowing any legal online content or service.
The five-member commission is expected to vote on Wheeler's proposal on Feb. 26.
