    Wired.com published an op-ed piece on Wednesday, the Federal Communications Commission, Wheeler Title II of the Communications Act of 1934. The rules pass as public utility for the treatment of both wired and wireless data services the proposal laid out broadband providers - like Verizon and AT & T - information services as they go now "light touch" regulatory oversight compared with the more will have to deal with.

    Wheeler FCC broadband companies they know they can charge the rates, including Title II of the most onerous rules will not apply, and the total waved an olive branch of sorts.

    Unfair discrimination between customers, business has been restricted by the common carrier, the principle Wheeler Title II of this change and is the basis of its key policies. Internet service providers to treat all traffic equally mandatory and some businesses prefer to access their online customers that will allow you to play "fast lane" to prevent them from forming - Wheeler Internet wants to implement this concept. People refer to as net neutrality.


    Traditionally such as telecommunications companies AT & T and Comcast cable providers including wired broadband players, including net neutrality debate for years has been in the middle, while it is a new area for wireless carriers. AT & T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint and T- Mobile data services they provide, they enjoyed far less regulations, the top US wireless service providers, and information services as described.

    Wheeler's unexpected proposal is put on the edge wireless carriers - and eager for more details.

    What does this mean for you? For now, not a lot. Contact the FCC net neutrality rules could put in limbo for years on February 26. The proposal is ready to vote until legal challenges likely will not come out, the proposal needs to digest the details is.

    In the long term, wireless carriers warn, strict rules of the networks lack the ability to carry your service is slow, resulting in a worst-case scenario, to invest in new network technologies this means that as your traffic will not be ready.

    Internet companies and consumer advocates, however, rejected this warning, and the promotion of investment in new services and technology will continue to believe.

    From A to Z reaction

    Depending on whom you ask, Wheeler's proposal ranks somewhere between slightly positive and fruitful.

    "It is no doubt that Regulation A for non-wireless AT & T and Verizon, will provoke fierce anger," Paul de SA, an analyst at Sanford Bernstein Research said.

    Sprint rules apply light touch will not hurt investment, and the Title II Assistant head hit in a prudent manner. But there are rules for when people are the final diagnosis.

    "Sprint to govern such a competitive market, allowing carriers to control their network resilience and offer different pricing and products to confirm that the proposed rules will review," the company on Wednesday said in an emailed statement.

    T-Mobile CEO John Legere ", an open and free Internet," he tweeted that supported the view that rules this month said it was looking forward to. He is never referred to as Title II.

    Verizon and the CTIA wireless trade group took a tough stance against the proposal.

    "Heavy regulation of the Internet is unnecessary and harmful," Michael Glover, Verizon said deputy general counsel.

    Meredith Attwell Baker, CEO of CTIA Title II of the industry can have a lasting negative impact: "We approach the FCC's proposed mobile broadband market leadership endanger our world and the uncertainty of years to come FCC consequently, we are concerned that title II on mobile broadband services to public utility regulation imposing Congress lacks authority. "

    On the contrary, represent companies including Yahoo, the Internet business groups under Title II as a utility to specify wireless Wheeler praised the decision.

    "We offer wireless and fixed broadband connections, including equal treatment Chairman Wheeler's," Michael Beckerman, Google, Yahoo, Amazon and other Internet companies, Internet Association, which represents, the CEO said. "There is only one Internet, and users regardless of how they are connected to a sensor that expect to be able to access the Internet."



    An interesting test case for the proposed regulation of T-Mobile's music program and its "zero-rated" Business models will be destined. The country's fourth-largest wireless carrier, its major rivals looking for an edge, in June consumer data allotment will count against the streaming music services. IHeartRadio such as Pandora and Spotify as big players, no data were among the first to enjoy.

    Specific applications used by carriers for data charge little or nothing because it "zero-rating" is called.


    T-Mobil CEO John Legere independence last summer music program unveiled in a ceremony.
    While feature benefit customers, an argument could be made that T-Mobile is discriminatory - even if unintentionally - that do not benefit from the freedom of music against small music services. Thinking: Customers in turn would give competitors an unfair advantage to those companies in which to save data will choose one of the larger services.

    Zero rating would be a positive for consumers while, it can threaten the openness of the Internet. By FCC they are not allowed to talk to the application of anonymity, a senior official for the Agency, see case by case deals under the new rules "just and reasonable" intends to evaluate whether or not the FCC.

    FCC These services are only now starting to pop up even want to step in quickly, and before this time do not want to repeal them, the official said. Careers guidance will be able to ask for the agency, but before offering them career FCC will not bless any project.

    Consumers or businesses complained the agency will probably only answer.

    T Mobile Music Freedom is the idea of net neutrality believes. To start with the music streaming services, the company selected by popular demand now or in writing vote, 27 offers.

    "Our vision is that every time the law is to be served," early in the process to the mobile network to build a music service has prompted the company said a spokesman for T-Mobile .

    Finding the middle ground?

    AT & T, Verizon, like, offers both wireless and landline service. Wired phone service provider in the United States is the largest in the company for a while, of Title II has been looking for a way around.


    AT & T's Jim Cicconi long advocated the use of Title II regulation.

    "We have a middle ground that we need investment and legal uncertainty for years without risk to protect the open Internet that will allow you to continue to believe in," said Jim Cicconi, AT & T the external and legislative affairs, senior executive vice president.

    Cicconi the FCC commissioners voted with a warning that it might break the rule. FCC in 2010, who was appointed by President Obama Wheeler, and two Republican and two Democratic commissioners have commissioners. A Republican president takes over and FCC chairman has been appointed to lead the Republican perhaps - - subject to revision Cicconi comments may broadband players await more favorable conditions.

    But taking a stand for broadband players probably will not wait that long. Wireless carriers Wheeler's proposal, while not threatened legal opposition, it is almost certainly coming.

    "Commission income under Title II route, then" CTIA Baker Communications and Technology last month before the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee, said in testimony, "the wireless industry for an appeals court had no choice but to visit treatment.
