FCC Chairman calls for the Formal Net Neutrality Rules.

"The U.S Federal Communications Commission will move to create formal net neutrality rules prohibiting Internet providers from selectively blocking or slowing web content and applications, FCC chairman Julius Genachowski."There are originally 4 policy principles that are obeyed by, but he wants to formalize 2 more policies into the system. For the October meeting he says he will launch a notice of proposed rule-making . He wants to know what the public and interested companies feedback on the proposed rules and their applications. His two new principles are, the first would prevent Internet access providers from discriminating against particular Internet content or applications, while allowing for reasonable network management. The second principle would ensure that Internet access providers are transparent about the network management practices they implement.

I think people who want a faster connection should be able to pay for it. But some people are fine with what they have to they shouldn't have to pay more if they don't mind with what they have.
