Early Reply Comments Disagree Sharply on Proposed Net Neutrality Rules

摘要

Even though the FCC delayed until April 26 the deadline for filing reply comments on its net nneutrality rules, dozens of commenters weighed in last week. The original comment round nwas one of the most active ever, with the FCC cataloging more than 100,000 comments. The nearly replies were filed mostly by smaller players on both sides of the question of whether the nFCC should codify its current rules and expand the rules to cover wireless. Opponents of new nnet neutrality rules included some groups that traditionally would support initiatives supported nby Democrats. Implement the National Broadband Plan, but go slow on net neutrality rules, nsaid Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. "We want to make sure that the nCommission's proposed rules will not have the unintended consequences of making nbroadband unaffordable to the countless disadvantaged Americans we serve," Jackson said.
