FOLLOW UP: Net Neutrality The FCC Speech
This is a follow-up of our previous announcement and predictions about FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s speech on Monday, September 21 in Washington:
Genachowski outlined six principles (2 new codes pertaining to transparency and non-discrimination) that are to be the framework for Net Neutral Policy.
The Net neutrality principles now include:
* Consumers are entitled to access the lawful Internet content of their choice.
* Consumers are entitled to run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement.
* Consumers are entitled to connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network.
* Consumers are entitled to competition among network providers, application and service providers, and content providers.
* Internet access providers can’t discriminate against particular Internet content or applications, while allowing for reasonable network management.
* Internet access providers must be transparent about the network management practices they implement.
