    Net neutrality plan to protect openness

    Federal regulators moved forward with a controversial plan to protect openness on the Internet, or net neutrality, by treating the online world more like heavily regulated telecommunications markets.

        not at all.

        it means that ISPs are disallowed for charging different amounts of money to transfer different types of data. The consumer effect of this ruling should be minimal, i.e. things will continue to function as they have been for regular people.

          Small step towards a solution for a much bigger problem. Next, we need to get the FCC to remove throttling on unlimited data packages.

                I think its the crafted in secret, and few details divulged until after its adoption that has many people irked.

                I am willing to bet there are some "fun" easter eggs hidden in there, and a barn door sized window for many new taxes on internet service to be levied

                      Nothing was, but that won't stop him from speculating from his own ignorance on this issue.

                      Not that he would read it but maybe other people will

                        This is supposed to be in there as well.

                        The core net neutrality provisions are bans on blocking and throttling traffic, a ban on paid prioritization, and a requirement to disclose network management practices. Broadband providers will not be allowed to block or degrade access to legal content, applications, services, and non-harmful devices or favor some traffic over others in exchange for payment.

                          I forgot to note that the new rules now treat cellular data the same as broadband service.
