Net Neutrality update

Aquí el documento de la FCC (de Dic 21 de 2010) que está finalizando por estos días su incubación en el ecosistema de negocios y en el sistema legal

GigaOm ha resumido aquí lo que significaría esta nueva regulación

Extracto introductorio:

"After the Federal Communication Commission released the complete version of its first set of so-called network neutrality rules last Thursday afternoon, I read the full order to understand what the FCC has created. In short, the rules:

• Protect the current state of the Internet;
• Are ambiguous, and hence less protective of the mobile future for the web;
• Show that the FCC punted on pretty much every challenging issue that lay before it, from requiring open network provisions on wireless networks to allowing managed services provided by ISPs.

For those wondering how we got here, check out our timeline and links to the original FCC proposal from 2009 and a later proposal from Google and Verizon that became the framework for the Congressional bill that subsequently became the framework for the compromise order. The new FCC order enshrines three principles as the framework for implementing network neutrality:

• Transparency for fixed and mobile broadband providers.
• No blocking for fixed broadband providers in general, while mobile broadband providers can’t block competitive services, although blocking apps is fine.
• No unreasonable discrimination by fixed broadband providers while mobile broadband providers have to justify their discrimination."
