WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Thursday moved to block the Federal
Communications Commission from enforcing new rules that prohibit broadband
providers from interfering with Internet traffic on their networks.

The rules prohibit phone and cable companies from favoring or discriminating
against Internet content and services, including online calling services
like Skype and Web video services like Netflix that could compete with their
core operations. "

Does not surprise me, but as a techie and as a consumer it disappoints and
upsets me. Hope this goes through. If it happens in the US, other countries
will begin to adopt the policy. If it is blocked in the US, then it's likely
to find its way into other overseas broadband agreements and servicing
contracts.
