Law firm files petition with FCC claiming new net neutrality rules don't go far enough

A law firm filed a petition with the FCC claiming that the new net neutrality rules do not go far enough to protect consumers. The petition argues that the rules have many loopholes and fail to address key issues like requiring broadband providers to share infrastructure with competitors or banning paid priority deals. It also says the rules do not go far enough in treating broadband as a telecommunications service or enforcing transparency around billing practices. The law firm believes the FCC needs to strengthen the rules to fully protect the public's right to an open internet.

FCC Law Blog Post January 2011
The FCC approved new net neutrality rules in a 3-2 party-line vote over the objections of Republican commissioners. The rules aim to increase transparency around network management practices and prohibit blocking of lawful content and "unreasonable discrimination". However, the rules do not apply equally to wireless providers and do not ban "paid prioritization". The regulations face challenges in Congress and the courts over whether the FCC has overstepped its regulatory authority.
Final presentation New Media Ethics
Comcast threatened to block Netflix if a fee was not paid by Level 3, a partner in Netflix's online streaming. This raised concerns about net neutrality and allowing internet providers to control access. The FCC wants to regulate broadband to prevent discrimination, but was rebuked by a court. The FCC may allow different service levels but forbid blocking content. There are ethical issues around who controls internet access and preventing monopolies to ensure a free and open internet. Limited FCC oversight may be needed to enforce net neutrality and fair competition.
Net neutrality
The document discusses whether the administration should regulate broadband providers as common carriers to ensure net neutrality, which is the principle that all online content should be treated equally, or if the internet should be left to market forces. It outlines the debate around this issue, including arguments about throttling, proposed legislation like the Internet Freedom Preservation Act, tiered pricing models used by ISPs, statements from Barack Obama supporting net neutrality, and stakeholders on both sides of the debate.
Tech Group Announces Privacy Standards
A group of 15 large email marketing companies have proposed privacy standards to reduce spam. The standards would ban sending emails without consent, allow consumers to remove themselves from lists, restrict content to relevant topics only, and require disclosure of how customer information will be used. The group hopes these standards will eliminate clutter in inboxes and cut down on internet spam if adopted widely. However, the plan is still in draft form and some companies may not participate, so it may not completely solve the problem of unwanted emails.

The document summarizes the FCC's Open Internet Rules and recent related developments. The rules establish four principles: transparency, no blocking, no unreasonable discrimination, and reasonable network management. They apply to both fixed and mobile internet providers but have some exemptions for mobile. The rules face legal challenges from Verizon and others and legislative challenges from Republicans in Congress. Other recent developments include the Comcast/NBCU merger agreement and debates around data caps and online copyright enforcement.

The document discusses the topic of net neutrality and analyzes arguments for and against it. It begins by defining net neutrality as the principle that internet service providers should allow equal access to all legal online content without favoring some sources over others. The document then examines debates around whether net neutrality regulations in the US successfully create a truly equal internet or if they are an "illusion." It also explores the importance of net neutrality for minority communities and small businesses. Finally, the document outlines current US policies, including net neutrality rules passed by the FCC, and concludes that net neutrality needs to be protected to maintain equality and prevent large corporations from gaining control over internet access.

It then discusses how the internet has operated under network neutrality up until now due to it being seen as important for an open internet. The document also notes that those in favor of strong network neutrality rules see the current legal system as unable to properly deal with infractions in a timely manner. It discusses opinions both for and against new network neutrality regulations, with supporters seeing it as important for the economy and society, while opponents believe it could limit investment in broadband networks.
Mac309 Net Neutrality 2008 9
This document discusses net neutrality and the debate around regulating internet service providers. It covers the different layers of the internet and battles that occur at each level. The key issues discussed are whether ISPs should be able to prioritize or discriminate against certain types of traffic, and whether this could lead to a "two-tiered internet" where consumers have to pay more for preferred access to content. The implications of potential regulation or lack of regulation are debated, with concerns that a two-tiered system could harm innovation and consumer choice.
Slide 1 -the battle over net neutrality
This document discusses network neutrality and the debate around it. It begins by defining network neutrality as the principle that internet service providers must allow equal access to all content and applications regardless of source. It then examines both sides of the debate, with network neutrality supporters arguing it prevents censorship, and opponents like internet providers arguing it could stifle innovation. The document also explores potential impacts if providers switched to tiered service models, such as higher fees for heavy users and disadvantages for some online content providers. It concludes by stating the author is normally not in favor of legislation enforcing network neutrality as it could prevent globalization supported by an open internet.
The Battle Over Net Neutrality
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers should treat all data on the Internet equally, not discriminating or charging differentially. The Internet has historically operated under net neutrality. Those in favor of net neutrality include tech companies and consumer groups who argue it encourages innovation and prevents censorship, while opponents like Internet service providers argue it removes incentives to invest in infrastructure. Without net neutrality, Internet providers could implement a tiered pricing system where heavy users pay more, which proponents argue would harm consumers and businesses but opponents believe would make the system more financially sustainable. There are concerns that ending net neutrality could allow for censorship and discrimination if not properly regulated.

The Supreme Court approved online sales taxes and a dangerous email bill advanced in California. The Supreme Court ruled states can collect sales tax from online retailers without a physical presence. A bill in California seeks to greatly expand the state's commercial email law and impose liability, though it was amended due to opposition. The European Union passed measures that could require platforms to pay for links to content and use automatic filtering, raising censorship concerns.
Data Protection and "Intermediary" Responsibility: An Historical Perspective
These slides look historically at the tension between being in "control" of personal data and benefiting from certain freedom of expression shields when acting as an “intermediary” between an original content producer and an end user. It is show that these tensions emerged as early as the 1980s in European data protection, with both the French and certain Scandinavian Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) adopting a strict construction of law vis-à-vis provides of interactive services on the Minitel and various news archive and other public databases respectively. By the late 1990s when the e-Commerce Directive 2000/31/EC was being negotiated a similar tension re-emerged in the form of the data protection “exemption” (art. 1(5)(b)) and the more general ambiguity as to whether “active” as opposed to “passive” services could benefit from the “host” shield (art. 14) in any case. A partial solution to the latter question was found in the reasonable “duties of care” preamble inserted in the instrument as recital 48. These early debates cast a new perspective on more contemporary developments in EU data protection and e-Commerce case law including C-131/12 Google Spain, C-507/17 Google v CNIL and C-18/18 Glawischnig-Piesczek.

CanLII.org receives over 30,000 visits and 20 million pages downloaded per month. The document argues that free access to law is important for transparency, economic development, and citizens' right to know the law. However, providing such access requires collaboration between the state, civil society, and private sector to provide the necessary data, expertise, and funding to ensure sustainability over time.

European Data Protection and Social Networking
These slides explore significant issues arising under data protection for both users and platforms as a result of the publication of third party personal data on such sites. Although the GDPR’s new wording of the household exemption could potentially exclude non-intrusive processing (e.g. sharing innocuous pictures taken in public), the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) is increasingly insistent that users acquire responsibilities when the publish such data to an indeterminate number. In principle, most EU Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) accept this although others including the UK and Irish have been very resistant. Many users could therefore have weighty data protection obligations here, although if contributing to a collective public debate they may be covered by the journalistic/special expression derogation and in any case there is a need for a balance with freedom of expression. CJEU ʻjoint controllerʼ case law also points to social networking sites have their own duties here, a proposition which has been backed by Working Party, the UK DPA and the UK courts. Whilst the e-Commerce ʻhostʼ shield should significantly limit ex ante responsibility here, this must be tempered by the ʻduty of careʼ which is inherent in being a ʻcontrollerʼ under data protection. In sum, data protection in principle remains central to the regulation of ʻonline harmsʼ here although ensuring effective and well-balanced regulation in practice remains a formidable challenge.

Initial outcomes include website traffic, social media growth, and organizational support from groups like the Americans for Tax Reform and Cato Institute.
Disruptions in Big Law
The legal industry is ripe for disruption due to factors such as inaccessibility, high costs, inefficient practices, and lagging technology adoption. Alternative legal service providers are emerging that offer more affordable, efficient, and technologically advanced options. These include online legal advice, DIY law solutions, legal research tools utilizing artificial intelligence, and platforms connecting clients directly with independent lawyers. While large law firms currently dominate the market, their business model is threatened by new entrants and the potential for disruptive innovation to significantly change legal service delivery and make quality legal support more accessible and affordable.
Department of Defense Publishes Proposed Rule on Counterfeit Electronics
The Department of Defense published a proposed rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement in order to implement sections of the 2012 and 2013 National Defense Authorization Acts related to countering counterfeit electronics in the DOD supply chain. The proposed rule would shift liability for replacing counterfeit parts to contractors and require them to have systems for detecting and avoiding counterfeit parts. It defines key terms and makes costs from counterfeit parts unallowable, taking into account a safe harbor provision. The rule would significantly impact DOD suppliers by increasing compliance costs and liability risks for any counterfeit parts placed in the supply chain.

Shared Services Canada's $398 million contract with Bell Canada to consolidate the federal government's 63 email systems into a single system has faced significant delays, disappointing SSC. The project was supposed to start transitioning departments in March 2014 but has yet to begin. SSC blames Bell for missing deadlines but will not provide specifics. The delay raises concerns about potential lack of transparency and outsourcing expertise currently existing within the public service. There are also questions about how the private sector will handle sensitive government information and whether the needs of Canadians are being prioritized over corporate profits.

THIS IS AN ARTICLE PLEASE GIVE ANSWERS FOR THE QUESTIONS (THE
PROBLEM)
Closing Case Network Neutrality Wars
The explosive growth of streaming video and mobile technologies is creating bandwidth
problems over the Internet. The Internet was designed to transmit content such as e-mails and
Web pages. However, media items being transmitted across the Internet today, such as high-
definition movies, are vastly larger in size. To compound this problem, there are (in early 2015)
over 180 million smartphone users in the United States, many of whom use the Internet to stream
video content to their phones. The Internet bandwidth issue is as much about economics as it is
about technology. Currently, consumers can send 1-kilobyte e-mails or watch the latest 30-
gigabyte movie on their large-screen televisions for the same monthly broadband fee. Unlike the
system used for power and water bills where higher usage results in higher fees, monthly
broadband fees are not tied to consumer usage. A study from Juniper Networks
(www.juniper.net) highlights this “revenue-per-bit” problem. The report predicts that Internet
revenue for carriers such as AT&T (www.att.com) and Comcast (www.comcast.com) will grow
by 5 percent per year through 2020. At the same time, Internet traffic will increase by 27 percent
annually, meaning that carriers will have to increase their bandwidth investment by 20 percent
per year just to keep up with demand. Under this model, the carrier’s business models will face
pressures, because their total necessary investment will exceed revenue growth. Few industry
analysts expect carriers to stop investing in new capacity. Nevertheless, analysts agree that a
financial crunch is coming. As Internet traffic soars, analysts expect revenue per megabit to
decrease. These figures translate into a far lower return on investment (ROI). Although carriers
can find ways to increase their capacity, it will be difficult for them to reap any revenue benefits
from doing so. The heart of the problem is that, even if the technology is equal to the task of
transmitting huge amounts of data, no one is sure how to pay for these technologies. One
proposed solution is to eliminate network neutrality. (A POSSIBLE SOLUTION)Network
neutrality is an operating model under which Internet service providers (ISPs) must allow
customers equal access to content and applications, regardless of the source or nature of the
content. That is, Internet backbone carriers must treat all Web traffic equally, not charging
different rates by user, content, site, platform, or application. Telecommunications and cable
companies want to replace network neutrality with an arrangement in which they can charge
differentiated prices based on the amount of bandwidth consumed by the content that is being
delivered over the Internet. These companies believe that differentiated pricing is the most
equitable method by which they can finance the necessary investments in their network
infrastructures. .

Shared Services Canada's $398 million contract with Bell Canada to consolidate the federal government's 63 email systems into a single system has faced significant delays, disappointing SSC. The project was supposed to start transitioning departments in March 2014 but has yet to begin. SSC blames Bell for missing deadlines but will not provide specifics. The delay raises concerns about potential lack of transparency and outsourcing expertise currently existing within the public service. There are also questions about how the private sector will handle sensitive government information and whether the needs of Canadians are being prioritized over corporate profits.

Closing Case Network Neutrality Wars
The explosive growth of streaming video and mobile technologies is creating bandwidth
problems over the Internet. The Internet was designed to transmit content such as e-mails and
Web pages. However, media items being transmitted across the Internet today, such as high-
definition movies, are vastly larger in size. To compound this problem, there are (in early 2015)
over 180 million smartphone users in the United States, many of whom use the Internet to stream
video content to their phones. The Internet bandwidth issue is as much about economics as it is
about technology. Currently, consumers can send 1-kilobyte e-mails or watch the latest 30-
gigabyte movie on their large-screen televisions for the same monthly broadband fee. Unlike the
system used for power and water bills where higher usage results in higher fees, monthly
broadband fees are not tied to consumer usage. A study from Juniper Networks
(www.juniper.net) highlights this “revenue-per-bit” problem. The report predicts that Internet
revenue for carriers such as AT&T (www.att.com) and Comcast (www.comcast.com) will grow
by 5 percent per year through 2020. At the same time, Internet traffic will increase by 27 percent
annually, meaning that carriers will have to increase their bandwidth investment by 20 percent
per year just to keep up with demand. Under this model, the carrier’s business models will face
pressures, because their total necessary investment will exceed revenue growth. Few industry
analysts expect carriers to stop investing in new capacity. Nevertheless, analysts agree that a
financial crunch is coming. As Internet traffic soars, analysts expect revenue per megabit to
decrease. These figures translate into a far lower return on investment (ROI). Although carriers
can find ways to increase their capacity, it will be difficult for them to reap any revenue benefits
from doing so. The heart of the problem is that, even if the technology is equal to the task of
transmitting huge amounts of data, no one is sure how to pay for these technologies. One
proposed solution is to eliminate network neutrality. (A POSSIBLE SOLUTION)Network
neutrality is an operating model under which Internet service providers (ISPs) must allow
customers equal access to content and applications, regardless of the source or nature of the
content. That is, Internet backbone carriers must treat all Web traffic equally, not charging
different rates by user, content, site, platform, or application. Telecommunications and cable
companies want to replace network neutrality with an arrangement in which they can charge
differentiated prices based on the amount of bandwidth consumed by the content that is being
delivered over the Internet. These companies believe that differentiated pricing is the most
equitable method by which they can finance the necessary investments in their network
infrastructures. .
NET NEUTRALITY
This document discusses net neutrality and the debate around it. Net neutrality refers to the principle that internet service providers should treat all data equally and not discriminate or charge differently by user, site, or type of content. The document outlines the key issues around net neutrality such as arguments for and against it from different stakeholders like internet service providers and consumers. It also discusses the legal and regulatory history of efforts in the US to establish rules ensuring net neutrality.

All the q about net neutrality.
1. Who is in favor of net neutrality? What reasons do they offer for this position?
2. What legal challenges are critics making against the FCC\'s rules? What three approaches are
they taking? Which is likely to succeed?
3. What affect could the FCC\'s decision have on the government, consumers, and various
internet-related companies? Are conditions expected to change drastically for any of these
groups?
Solution
1. Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers and governments should treat all
data on the Internet equally, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site,
platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communication. Nearly anyone
and any business not involved with the cable and phone companies supports keeping the Internet
as the open marketplace that it is today. Consumer groups, small businesses, innovators, family
and religious groups, financial services, retailers as well as major Internet brands such as Google,
Yahoo!, Amazon.com, Earthlink, eBay, Intel, Microsoft, Skype, Vonage are fighting to keep the
Internet open.
2.The FCC just voted in favor of a strong net neutrality rule to keep the Internet open and free.A
legal fight against the Federal Communications Commission\'s new Internet traffic rules has
begun with a suit by the United States Telecom Association, an industry group that represents
companies including AT&T and Verizon. The FCC is honing in on three areas of oversight: the
blocking of access to any content, the \'throttling\' of Internet traffic (slowing it down for reasons
other than what may be technically necessary to maintain a network\'s operations), and paid
prioritization (in which providers may favor some Internet traffic over others by creating \'fast
lanes\' for websites and services that can pay for them). One of the key legal arguments to expect
in the months to come, according to Werbach, is that the FCC previously said a company can
either be a telecommunications service or an information service, but not both. ISPs may argue
that they are elements of both and that the FCC must prove that they are not information
companies before it can reclassify them, says Werbach.
3.It will be a long time before anything materialises. Netflix won\'t stream any faster for you and
ISPs won\'t stop investing in their networks or high speed fiber cables as a result. Internet service
providers say they back the concept. But they don\'t want to face more, costly regulation and
claim it would hurt the economy.
Their argument is the internet has been progressing just fine the way it is currently set up, thanks
in parts to their expensive investments in network upgrades that have improved the quality of
high-speed service and expanded its availability.
More regulation will cost them more money - money they would otherwise spend on expanding
and improving their networks, they say. That would have the trickle-down effect of hurting

WHAT’S NEW NOW
Why 2015 May Be the Year
We Solve Net Neutrality
BY CHLOE ALBANESIUS
T
he Internet is an amazing innovation that has transformed the world as
we know it. But how do we keep it open and accessible to all? Can
Internet service providers be trusted to police themselves and let
competition guide the way? Or should regulators step in and set up rules of the
road to ensure equal access to the Web?
These questions have been plaguing regulators and ISPs alike for years now,
but it’s looking as though there’s the possibility that in 2015 the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) will finally issue rules that actually stick.
And the agency might get there by taking a very controversial route.
OPEN
NET NEUTRALITY?
You’ve probably heard the term “net neutrality.”
Perhaps your eyes glazed over as politicians droned on
about “Internet fast lanes” or “protecting the Internet.”
But what are they talking about? The Internet seems to
be working just fine, right?
Therein lies the dilemma. The Internet does indeed
work quite well, but there are those who are concerned
that that might not always be the case. Net neutrality,
therefore, is the idea that everyone should have equal
access to the Internet. Amazon, for example, should not
be able to pay for Amazon.com to load faster than
eBay.com or Etsy.com. ISPs, meanwhile, are at liberty
to speed up (or slow down) their entire networks, but
they cannot cut off access to one particular website or
platform (such as Netflix) because those sites are eating
up a ton of bandwidth.
In theory, all parties in the net neutrality debate are in
agreement about those basic tenets. But they disagree
over whether the government needs to step in and
monitor the situation. If you ask the ISPs, they are fully
capable of policing themselves and would never actively
break the rules of net neutrality because they would lose
customers. They also argue that requiring them to
follow onerous rules would make them less inclined to
invest in new technologies—like gigabit Internet—for
fear that they would not be able to run their networks as
they please.
On the other side, though, are consumer groups and
certain lawmakers who point to examples of ISPs
behaving badly. In fact, the modern-day net neutrality
debate started with accusations that Comcast was
cutting off access to peer-to-peer networks such as
BitTorrent during peak times in order to better manage
its network. Meanwhile, consumers in many cities do
not have multiple options when it comes to high-speed
Internet providers, meaning if they don’t like their
Internet speeds or service, they’re stuck.
The Internet
does indeed
work quite
well, but there
are those who
are concerned
that that
might not
always be
the case.

I canada fcc chairman remarks on open access and gigafying america apr 14 15
The document is the remarks of FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler at the Broadband Communities Summit in Austin, Texas on April 14, 2015. In the summary:
Wheeler discusses the importance of fast, fair, and open broadband networks and the FCC's efforts to promote competition. He highlights examples where community broadband networks have expanded access and benefited local economies when private providers did not, such as in Chattanooga, TN and Wilson, NC. Wheeler argues that restricting community broadband limits consumer choice and that the FCC acted to preempt laws in two states that blocked municipal broadband expansion.

The FCC's broadband speed test found improvements in actual speeds compared to advertised speeds across broadband providers. Actual download speeds during peak usage periods were near 100% of what was advertised, up from 87% in the previous year's test. However, a study by the New America Foundation found that US broadband prices are higher than other countries for slower speeds, and US "triple play" bundles are more expensive but provide slower speeds than bundles in European and Asian cities. While the FCC sees closing gaps and US leadership in mobile broadband, some groups question if US policies adequately address lack of competition in the broadband market.

CPI Comcast article April 2014
This document summarizes an article about how the largest internet content providers like Netflix, Google, and Apple may bypass internet service providers (ISPs) like Comcast and Verizon by building their own broadband infrastructure in response to the lack of net neutrality regulations. The FCC's net neutrality rules were struck down by a court, allowing ISPs to potentially charge content companies for priority access. Netflix then saw slower streaming speeds on Comcast and Verizon and made a deal with Comcast to pay an unknown fee to maintain streaming quality. This sets a precedent where content companies must pay ISPs or risk being "throttled." However, content companies may disintermediate ISPs entirely by building their own broadband networks, widening the
The Proposed Merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable In Febr.pdf
The Proposed Merger of Comcast and Time Warner Cable In February 2014, Comcast and Time
Warner announced their intention to mergea deal worth about $45 billion. The merger would form
the largest cable TV and Internet provider in the United States and enable the company to control
27 of the top 30 markets in the United States, and three-fourths of the overall cable market. The
merger first had to be approved, however, by the Department of Justice (to assess antitrust
concerns) and the Federal Communications Commission (the FCC, which evaluates media deals
to assess their influence on the public interest). Comcast and Time-Warner argued that the deal
would not significantly influence competition in the cable industry because the companies
operated in nonoverlapping geographic markets, so customers would not be losing an option for
getting cable service. They also argued that the merger would enable the companies to make
investments that would provide customers with faster broadband, greater network reliability and
security, better in-home Wi-Fi, and greater Video on Demand choices. As argued by David Cohen,
Comcasts executive vice president, in front of a Senate panel: I can make you and the members
of this committee one absolute commitment, which is that there is nothing in this transaction that
will cause anybodys cable bills to go up. Opponents of the merger, however, argued that the size
and scale of the merged company would make the company dangerously powerful (particularly
given that Comcast had recently acquired NBC Universal). Whereas the merger might not change
the cable options available for end consumers, it definitely would change the options available for
content providers such as Disney and Viacom, or on-demand programming providers such as
Netflix, Cinema Now, Hulu, and others. The merged companys overwhelming bargaining power
over suppliers could also create cost advantages other TV or Internet providers might be unable to
match, thereby enabling it to squeeze competitors out of the market. For example, satellite
operator Dish Network argued that the combined company would be able to use its size to force
providers of content to lower their prices, and that companies such as Dish Network would be at a
competitive disadvantage. Dish also argued that the merged company might undermine video
services such as Netflix or Cinema Now by altering streaming speeds either at the last mile of the
Internet (where it is delivered into peoples homes) or at interconnection points between Internet
providers. Netflix noted that Comcast had already required the Netflix to pay terminating access
fees to ensure that customers did not get a downgraded signal. If the cable companies
downgraded the signal for on-demand providers, customers would abandon services like Netflix
and turn to on-demand options the cable operators themselves were providing. Senator Al
Franken pointed out that when Comcast had acquired NBC Universal in 2010, it had defended .

Interactive Session: Organizations The Battle Over Net Neutrality What kind of Internet user are you? Do you primarily use the Net to do a little e-mail and online banking? Or are you online all day, watching YouTube videos, downloading music files, or playing online games? Do you use your iPhone to stream TV shows and movies on a regular basis? If you’re a power Internet or smartphone user, you are consuming a great deal of bandwidth. Could hundreds of millions of people like you start to slow the Internet down? Video streaming on Netflix accounts for 32 percent of all bandwidth use in the United States, and Google’s YouTube for 19 percent of Web traffic at peak hours. If user demand overwhelms network capacity, the Internet might not come to a screeching halt, but users could face sluggish download speeds and video transmission. Heavy use of iPhones in urban areas such as New York and San Francisco has already degraded service on the AT&T wireless network. AT&T reported that 3 percent of its subscriber base accounted for 40 percent of its data traffic. Internet service providers (ISPs) assert that network congestion is a serious problem and that expanding their networks would require passing on burdensome costs to consumers. These companies believe differential pricing methods, which include data caps and metered use—charging based on the amount of bandwidth consumed—are the fairest way to finance necessary investments in their network infrastructures. But metering Internet use is not widely accepted, because of an ongoing debate about net neutrality. Net neutrality is the idea that Internet service providers must allow customers equal access to content and applications, regardless of the source or nature of the content. Presently, the Internet is neutral: all Internet traffic is treated equally on a first-come, first-served basis by Internet backbone owners. However, this arrangement prevents telecommunications and cable companies from charging differentiated prices based on the amount of bandwidth consumed by the content being delivered over the Internet. The strange alliance of net neutrality advocates includes MoveOn.org; the Christian Coalition; the American Library Association; data-intensive Web businesses such as Netflix, Amazon, and Google; major consumer groups; and a host of bloggers and small businesses. Net neutrality advocates argue that differentiated pricing would impose heavy costs on heavy bandwidth users such as YouTube, Skype, and other innovative services, preventing high-bandwidth startup companies from gaining traction. Net neutrality supporters also argue that without net neutrality, ISPs that are also cable companies, such as Comcast, might block online streaming video from Netflix or Hulu in order to force customers to use the cable company’s on-demand movie rental services. Network owners believe regulation to enforce net neutralit.

4 Americans on hijacked yacht dead off Somalia
Pirates hijacked a yacht carrying four Americans off Somalia and killed the hostages despite efforts by the U.S. Navy to negotiate their release. A rocket-propelled grenade was fired from the yacht at a nearby U.S. destroyer, followed by gunfire. When U.S. special forces boarded the yacht, they found the four Americans fatally wounded. The killings mark the first time Americans have been killed by Somali pirates and suggest an increasingly aggressive shift in how pirates are treating hostages.

Law firm files petition with FCC claiming new net neutrality rules don't go far enough
- 1. Law firm files petition with FCC claiming new net neutrality rules don't go far enough Law firm files petition with FCC claiming new net neutrality rules don't go far enough | GamePolitics A law firm has filed a "petition for reconsideration" with the Federal Communications Commission today saying that its new rules voted on in its February meeting are not strong enough. The petition to the courts was filed by Washington, D.C.-based law firm Smithwick and Belendiuk. Arthur Belendiuk, a partner in the firm, says that the new rules fall short in a number of ways, most notably in how they forbear applying traditional telecommunication regulations to broadband despite reclassifying its as a regulated telecom service. "The FCC did not go far enough in protecting the public's absolute right to freely access the Internet," Belendiuk told IT World in an emailed response."The FCC left many loopholes, which the large gatekeeper corporations can exploit." Belendiuk goes on to say that the new rules also fail to provide a clear directive to broadband providers to share last-mile connections with competitors; do not ban unpaid traffic priority deals, do not enforce "truth-in-billing rules," do not require broadband providers to contribute to the Universal Service Fund, and many other points highlighted in this IT World report. The law firm filed its "petition for reconsideration" with the FCC on Tuesday. Source: IT World
