The FCC recently voted to move forward on a rule-making process that could lead to new government regulations for the Internet. That is what the FCC and some activist groups want, although they claim to be supporting only “neutrality.” Even key players seem confused. The Open Internet Coalition says neutrality “is about keeping the hands of several powerful network operators — AT&T, Verizon and Comcast — off the Internet, preventing them from taking steps to change the basic open nature of the Net that has led to its success.”
