Two days ago, the FCC approved by a narrow 3-2 vote to enact the controversial set of rules and guidelines called “net neutrality”. The aim is to make the internet a fairer place, free from anti-competitive actions and policies pushed by big companies. The road from concept to “law” has been long and hard, with some arguing the end result is a far cry from what was originally intended. To some degree, critics of the recently approved net neutrality are right — there are barely any stipulations for wireless internet. As for the wired type, their are three main things: Transparency, No blocking, and No unreasonable discrimination.
With that said, the FCC released the full set of Net Neutrality text in its entirety (PDF) tonight so that we the people can find out just how “fair” the groundbreaking set of guidelines really are. If you’ve got a few minutes to spare, give it a look and let us know what you think.
