• Resumen

  • On 15 May 2014 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) launched a rulemaking seeking comment on proposals for prohibiting Internet providers from blocking or degrading consumers� Internet access in light of a recent Federal Court ruling that struck down the FCC's Open Internet Order of 2010 (see also IRIS 2010-1/41 and IRIS 2012-1/43). The FCC preliminarily rejected reclassifying broadband service under Title II of the Communications Act pursuant to the authority granted to it by the Court. Instead, it proposed to refine its anti-blocking rules and prohibit only commercially unreasonable practices.
