Isn't the main issue that companies could start charging extra to use certain sites now!

Regardless these rules should not be changed, as has been pointed out, because the courts told the FCC how to fix the current ones.

The FCC will officially vote next month on the proposed rule changes regarding Net Neutrality.

More reports are coming out that the FCC will move to reclassify ISPs as utilities. This may also include companies that offer wireless data services.

Wheeler officially came out today and confirmed that the FCC will move to reclassify ISPs under common carrier under Title II, as well as wireless data networks.

I honestly did not expect the wireless part and I'm hoping that the telecomms didn't either.

What're the odds these proposed changes fail to pass?

The consensus is that Tom Wheeler would not have made this a big public thing if he didn't have the votes.

Yeah, the GOP trying to gut the FCC's authority is not going anywhere while Obama is in office.

Apparently the president doesn't get to have an opinion on anything anymore

That's not a bug, it's a feature. I mean Comcast owns NBC so I'm sure they will come out strong against this.

I don't remember seeing it anywhere:

Where is everyone getting the idea that the new regulations will force providers to go full throttle on the "bandwidth for everyone" train?

They changed the definition of "broadband" and made it a little more transparent regarding what we can see in relation to what isp's are doing with their client connections. Chasing the definition doesn't mean everyone needs to throttle up. It means that the isp's stop caging their sub par service a broadband service.

Please. Someone fix me.

Yeah all it really does is redefine what 'broadband' is, so now some companies won't be able to call their garbage service 'broadband' anymore. Nowhere are they forcing companies to adhere to a certain standard or face consequences.
