FCC Chairman to address Congress

On May 20, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler will testify before the House Commerce Subcommittee. During his testimony, Wheeler is expected to address the topic of “net neutrality”.

Last week, the FCC proposed its new policies regarding to the Internet and net neutrality. The new policies would allow service providers to “require money for special treatment. Companies that refuse, or simply can’t afford, to pay the new premiums could be left with slower speeds that allow it to barely get to the consumers.”

Net neutrality, which is the concept that Internet service providers should treat all Internet traffic as equals in regards to the speed of its delivery, appears to be anything but neutral as described by the proposed policies.

Mike’s Musings: May 20 is just three weeks away, which means consumers don’t have much time to voice their thoughts before Wheeler takes his case to congress. If you want to keep the internet the way it is today? If so, contact your local congressman to let him/her know your thoughts.
