Net Neutrality: FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski launching a notice for proposed rule making

Genachowski is launching a notice for proposed rule making proposing the addition of two principles to the existing "Four Freedoms" - principles that have been established by the FCC to protect the openness of the Internet. Concern has been raised worldwide about whether the addition of another layer of regulation is needed, together with comments about the ill-defined nature of what "Net Neutrality" really is. The OCA will be following this debate over the next few months.
