If you set the Republicans in the Congress of the United States like to keep the FCC pursuant to the rules of the neutrality of the Net as a House, Subcommittee on Communications and technology approved a measure (15-8)which casts the FCC network neutrality rules.
According to the Wall Street Journal, House Republicans have also proposed to cut the cords of the FCC so it cannot apply the rules of the neutrality of the Net.
If you do not know, network neutrality means that a service provider may not discriminate against content because it is not in its economic interest. Comcast, for example, may not make videos of his NBC content look better and run faster than the videos from a competitor site under proposed FCC rules.
Les FCC network neutrality rules are still in place until Congress or Obama the President decides to do something, but we could be facing a future where the Government Agency has retool these rules or not at all.
The simple reason is that the big names such as Comcast and providers of mobile such as AT & T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon do not like these FCC neutrality rules and these companies donate millions and millions of dollars to the Congress.
The FCC network neutrality rules would really impact the suppliers of mobile, as most (in the industry and the Government) believe that it is too issuant from a market in strong regulation put in place. Fear for mobile operators, it is that the strict rules will eventually find its way into the mobile space.
He is also the philosophical argument that private sector knows what is best, and that innovation will be plagued with these stringent rules.
It is such a strange move in my eyes, because these rules were not very strict in the first place and would probably have not resisted the first challenge of the Court. When you look at all the problems the Government faces in, could believe that the FCC network neutrality rules would be a super low priority.
