FCC to Propose Net Neutrality Rules
-----------------------------------



The Federal Communications Commission is expected to propose rules today
that would bar internet service providers from blocking or hobbling
online services in any fashion. FCC Chair Julius Genachowski will lay
out his plan for net neutrality in a speech today at the Brookings
Institution. The proposal would prohibit AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and
other broadband providers from slowing or blocking services or content,
such as TV shows, over the internet.
