FCC chairman says `open Internet' rules are vital

NEW YORK - Wireless carriers shouldn't be allowed to block certain types of Internet traffic flowing over their networks, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission chairman said Monday in a speech that got a cool response from the industry.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said wireless carriers should be subject to the same "open Internet" rules that the agency has begun to apply to home broadband providers. That may mean that a carrier couldn't, for example, *****ban the use of file-sharing services on its wireless network*****, which AT&T Inc. does now.

Last year, the agency sanctioned *****Comcast Corp. for secretly hampering file-sharing traffic by its cable-modem subscribers*****. In that ruling, the agency relied on broad "principles" of open Internet access that hadn't previously been put to the test. The cable company filed suit, saying the FCC didn't have the authority to tell it how to run its network. The case is still in federal appeals court.

-----------------------------

NOW WHY WOULD THE FCC FORCE MEDIA PIPELINES TO ACCEPT TWITTERED FILE-SHARING STREAMING MEDIA ONTO THE BACKS OF RATE-PAYING NET USERS HOPING FOR BROADBAND HIGH-SPEED ACCESS, WHEN THAT TWITTERED FILE-SHARING STREAMING MEDIA IS GOING TO SERIOUSLY KLUDGE UP ACCESS TO THE INTERNET, AND REDUCE THE LEVEL OF INTERNET JOURNALISM AND CORRUPTION INVESTIGATING 'ONLINE COMMUNITY' TO JIBBERING CHOSS?

OH ... I GET IT!! I ... DRINK ... YOUR ... MILKSHAKE!!!
