FCC Proposes a ‘Third Way’ of Regulating Broadband Providers

By CircleID Reporter

Jared Newman reporting in PC World: “Wounded from a court decision that stopped the government from regulating Internet service providers, the Federal Communications Commission has announced a new way to gain some control over the broadband industry. The proposal would let the FCC treat Internet transmissions like telephone communications, entailing more oversight, but would prevent government control over Web services, applications and e-commerce sites.”
