FCC to Propose Net Neutrality Rules

HeadlineSep 21, 2009

The Federal Communications Commission is expected to propose rules today that would bar internet service providers from blocking or hobbling online services in any fashion. FCC Chair Julius Genachowski will lay out his plan for net neutrality in a speech today at the Brookings Institution. The proposal would prohibit AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and other broadband providers from slowing or blocking services or content, such as TV shows, over the internet.
