The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will move to create formal net neutrality rules prohibiting Internet providers from selectively blocking or slowing Web content and applications.
That’s the word from FCC chairman Julius Genachowski, pictured, PC World reports.
Genachowski announced a notice of proposed rulemaking, a process to formalise a set of broadband policy principles that the FCC has embraced since August 2005. In addition to the four policy principles, Genachowski called for two additional principles to be included in a formal set of net neutrality rules.
