Sprint says Obama net neutrality plan wouldn't curb investments
2015-01-16 20:27:09| IT Services - Topix.net
Sprint Corp will keep investing in its networks even if U.S. regulators adopt stricter "net neutrality" rules as long as they are applied with a "light touch," the company said in a letter to the FCC released on Friday. Sprint's position appears to contrast with other cable and phone companies who have staunchly rejected the possibility that the FCC regulate Internet service providers more strictly under a section of communications law known as Title II, which would treat them more like public utilities.

Republican bill: Net neutrality protections without reclassifying broadband
2015-01-14 21:45:31| Telecom - Topix.net
Top Republicans in Congress plan to introduce legislation that they say will ensure net neutrality protections for Internet users and will spur U.S. economic growth. The proposal would create "unambiguous" rules prohibiting broadband providers from selectively blocking or throttling Web traffic, while avoiding a reclassification of broadband as a regulated public utility, said a Wednesday blog post at Reuters.com by Senator John Thune, a South Dakota Republican, and Representative Fred Upton, a Michigan Republican.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is signaling that it intends to adopt President Barack Obama's proposal to keep the Internet open when the independent agency votes on rules next month. FCC officials working on the issue under Chairman Tom Wheeler are asking questions they would only ask if they were taking the direction Obama is seeking, such as how to regulate wireless service, said one person involved in discussions with the agency.
