There have been some amazing changes at the FCC. First of all there is the new broadband.gov, the new fcc ideascale broadband site, where you can suggest and vote on what you think is important for the FCC to look at, and the new FCC blog. Secondly the new FCC chairman is intensely interested in broadband as a vehicle for innovation and has released a video on Youtube on his view of the importance of broadband.
The first is net neutrality, which says that broadband providers cannot discriminate against particular Internet content or applications. The second says broadband providers must be transparent about their network management practices. In addition he has proposed that the FCC formally enshrine four pre-existing agency policies that say network operators cannot prevent users from accessing the lawful Internet content, applications, and services of their choice, nor can they prohibit users from attaching non-harmful devices to the network.
