Net Neutrality is Here - Almost
Filed in archive News by Greg Cruey on September 25, 2009
FCC chairman Julius Genachowski


A number of sources (PC World, PC Magazine, V3, Mashable) have been covering the Obama Administration's announcement that it would work to establish net neutrality as government policy.

Mashable describes the camps for and against net neutrality:
It wasn't that long ago when Net Neutrality was the hottest topic on the web. It's the principle that says that broadband and Internet service providers should treat all Internet traffic the same, regardless of its source.

On one side of the debate are Google(), Yahoo, and the major Internet giants that seek to prevent ISPs from controlling the web. On the other side are Comcast, AT&T, and other ISPs that believe they should have full control over what is streamed through their hardware.
The FCC will hold a meeting on October 22 to discuss the policy.
