The Federal Communications Commission is expected to unveil new regulations today for broadband providers based on the rules for traditional phone networks. The move would help adopt the “net neutrality” concept of ensuring web users have equal access to all websites. The new rules follow last month’s federal appeals court ruling that the FCC lacks the authority to prevent internet service providers from blocking and controlling internet traffic. Media reform activists have flooded FCC chair Julius Genachowski with phone calls and emails in recent days following rumors he’s considered abandoning net neutrality in the new rules.
