‘Internet Giants Raise Concerns About Net Neutrality Plan’ – Re/code
The latest post on ‘Re/code’ is titled “Internet Giants Raise Concerns About Net Neutrality Plan”.
Amy Schatz says, “More than a hundred Internet companies, including Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Twitter, asked federal regulators Wednesday to reconsider a plan to allow Internet providers to sell fast lanes to content providers.
In a letter to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, the companies raised concerns about news reports that the agency is preparing to release draft rules that would allow Comcast* and other Internet providers to sell prioritized service to content companies.
The proposal is part of broader net neutrality rules for Internet lines that would bar broadband providers from blocking legal websites or applications and require ISPs to be more transparent about how they manage Internet traffic.
If the news reports about the draft net neutrality rules are correct, the companies wrote, “this represents a grave threat to the Internet.””.
