Net neutrality D-day - FierceBroadbandWireless

I suppose today could be characterized as "freak out" day for most broadband operators out there. The FCC is scheduled to add two new "principles" of support for net neutrality concepts and essentially codify all six principles the commission has held into official regulations. As such, some strange happenings went on this week.

Verizon Communications CEO Ivan Seidenberg, speaking at the Supercomm trade show yesterday in Chicago, called the proposed net neutrality regulations "extremely troubling," and said new regulations should be applied to telecom companies and Internet firms equally, or else wireless and wireline operators would face unpalatable risks. He singled out Google in that speech.
