FCC approved "High-Level Rules Of The Road" On Tuesday

By
Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday approved a "high-level rules of the road" is designed to ensure that Internet service providers to guarantee everyone equal access to the network.

But the 3-2 vote was immediately attacked by both sides, with the defenders of Internet freedom say the new rules do not go far enough, critics say the government should stay out of online commerce altogether .

In announcing the proposed rules this month, "said FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski they would need a capacity for high-speed Internet to handle all types of Web content right.

The rules are designed to be effectively considered as owning the infrastructure of the real world of the Internet slows down some of the websites or applications - namely those belonging to a competitor - or accelerate other high-paying client.

For the average Internet users, the vote if the government guarantees that interest will continue to be used for all Web content, regardless of their ISP will, and that they receive as soon as companies or individuals may pay more for it.

Agenda for the Commission said the vote demonstrated the basic rules of the road to preserve the open Internet as the basis for innovation, investment, competition and freedom of expression. "
Commissioner Michael Copps, a Democrat, signed on rules, but has requested that only a "first step in the right direction."

For example, he said the rules will not completely prevent broadband providers to "pay for the priority" - and provides faster service to those unable to pay, or a company favored over the other .
Instead, the regulations say such practices "generally violate the" rules of non-discrimination.
The vote was along party lines, and the three Democrats to vote "the same" rules and the two Republicans to vote against them.

Commissioner Robert McDowell, a Republican, called the vote "a radical step" and said the FCC put on a collision course "with the courts, which predicts that established the rules.
Republicans have largely maintained the government has no right to intervene in the practices of online businesses.

President Barack Obama, a written statement, called the rules an important part of his administration to promote "American innovation, economic growth and creating jobs."

"Today's decision will help to maintain free and open nature of the Internet, encouraging innovation, consumer choice, and to defend freedom of speech," Obama said.Although the commission approved the rules, Congress could still act to amend or weaken them. Members of the House and Senate, from both sides of the aisle, have expressed concerns for different reasons.
