Microsoft backs down on net neutrality
,----[ Quote ]
| SOFTWARE MONOPOLIST Microsoft seems to be
| backing away from its long running support
| for network neutrality.
|
| Speaking to an FCC hearing on the issue, the
| software giant admitted it has a vested
| interest in ensuring that its numerous web
| applications and services are delivered to
| consumers without interference from an ISP.
|
| However it warned against "the adoption of
| unnecessary or insufficiently tailored
| regulations, such as a prohibition on all
| types of discrimination."

FCC Democrats determined to reclassify broadband
,----[ Quote ]
| Democrats on the Federal Communications
| Commission say the federal court's decision
| regarding Comcast has renewed their resolve
| to reclassify broadband as a
| telecommunications service in order to
| enact net neutrality regulations.
|
| "The only way the Commission can make
| lemonade out of this lemon of a decision is
| to do now what should have been done years
| ago: treat broadband as the
| telecommunications service that it is,"
| said Michael J. Copps, the senior
| Democratic member of the panel. "We should
| straighten this broadband classification
| mess out before the first day of summer."
