The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “Net Neutrality: FCC Shifting Gears On Its Internet “Fast Lane” Idea”.

Anthony Myers says, “Following a tech-industry backlash, the FCC appears ready to reconsider a proposal that would allow broadband providers to charge Internet services such as Netflix or Google extra for faster connectivity, the Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend.

The proposal by the Federal Communications Commission would effectively undermine net neutrality, the idea that Internet providers like the cable or cellular companies shouldn’t filter, slow or otherwise limit the data traffic that flows over their networks. The backlash against the FCC came when its recent proposal allowed for “paid prioritization,” which would allow broadband providers to charge more for companies to deliver their services (like movies on Netflix) to consumers. In essence, companies would have to pay to be in the “fast lane” of Internet service”.
