Obama urges FCC to adopt strong net neutrality rules, ban internet fast lanes
2014-11-10 18:45:46| Extremetech
President Obama, at long last, has come out in defense of net neutrality. In a short statement (video below), he urges the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt "the strongest possible rules" to protect net neutrality, and to finally reclassify internet providers as common carriers under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. Ultimately, the FCC is an independent agency that Obama can't directly affect -- but presumably Obama is praying that his protestations, plus the 3.7 million other people who have submitted comments over the FCC's net neutrality plans, will be enough to turn the tide.
