Description
Although the proposed FCC changes to Net Neutrality released last week are short on details about what constitutes "commercially reasonable," it looks like we're closer to reclassifying ISPs as Title Two common carriers than we were in the draft that was allegedly leaked to journalists a few weeks back.
In this podcast, we talk to EFF Intellectual Property Director Corynne McSherry (@cmcsherr), who spent the weekend pouring over FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's proposal (@TomWheelerFCC), which is now available for public comment through DearFCC.
Topics discussed include:
How could the concept of paid prioritization impact news media diversity
Argument in favor of regulating ISPs like phone companies
Argument agasint regulating ISPs like phone companies
Reclassifying ISPs as telecommunications services
Al Tompkins's (@atompkins) article about the impact of Net Neutrality on jouranlism
Who's the blame for where we are and how we got here
Should the Federal Trade Commission be involved to regulate unfair competition
Public threat of consolidated ownership of ISPs and content providers
Best practices for mobilizing the public behind thicker policy issues
How to file a public comment on the proposal to the FCC
And much, much more.
