Net Neutrality regulations applying to wireless
Posted by David Culp
Not surprisingly, this article on Business Week indicates the trade group organization CTIA-The Wireless Association has stated that any regulation passed that attempts to deal with the issue of net neutrality should not be applied to wireless service providers. The organization represents AT&T, Verizon, and other wireless companies.
Other groups supported by Google and Microsoft are on the side of FCC regulations that level the playing field for how internet content is served. Today (January 14th) was the deadline the FCC set for comments on the issue to be submitted.
It should be interested to see how this goes. It seems to me that if regulations insuring neutrality are necessary, they should apply to wireless the same as they would any other infrastructure medium for delivering content. Should companies with the means be allowed to pay for priority when it comes to content delivery?
