FCC Proposes Network Neutrality Rules
Network Neutrality advocates have worked to raise awareness of the potential for content discrimination by Internet service providers. When digital content is sent over the Internet it is possible to determine the nature of the communication. Internet service providers can then influence the delivery of communications or charge higher rates. The Federal Communications Commission proposed rules that would prohibit Internet service providers such as Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc from discriminating against certain web information transactions or charging higher rates for services.
