‘How Much Do You Trust the FCC? The Internet Might Depend on It’ – ‘Mashable’

Jason Abbruzzese says, “The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday opened the door to a wide range of possibilities for the future of the Internet.

Commissioners voted 3-2, along expected party lines, to begin the public comment period forthe FCC’s proposed rules. Within minutes, lobbyists on both sides of the net neutrality debate issued statements decrying different parts of the proposal.

It was the first day of a nearly four-month comment period that has already stirred strong feelings from major Internet companies, broadband providers, politicians and activist organizations. Public interest has ticked up as well”.
