FCC pushes back against Obama on net neutrality

labeeman · Nov 11, 2014

In the face of President Obama's call for the FCC to adopt fresh legislation to protect net neutrality, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has reminded the leader politely that the agency works for Congress, not the White House. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has found itself at the heart of a discussion on what is deemed net neutrality -- the principle of treating all Internet traffic the same way.
The US communications regulator is currently thrashing out a new set of net neutrality rules, but the current proposal would allow for telecommunications and broadband providers to charge content providers, such as Netflix, for priority Internet fast-lanes. If content providers refused to pay additional rates, theoretically, this could result in throttled speeds for US subscribers -- or ISPs which produce their own content could slow down rivals in a bid to promote their own services.

Why does Windows 10 appear to be suddenly sabotaging my preferred web browser: Google Chrome?

Another example of Microsoft trying to force you to use their product is try to browse msn.com with a Chrome browser, you will find a lot of the content will not display. I am also finding more and more sites that will only display
with Edge. Ajit Pai at the FCC would say, like net neutrality, Microsoft gives us a choice, use their browser of look at blank pages. Go Mr. T.

Amazon Device randomly showing up on Network.

good info, but curious, your comment about net neutrality,

what does net neutrality (a regulation governing how ISPs throttle internet speeds) have to do with an unknown device being on your network?
