Net Neutrality: The Fight is Over for Now

But rest assured, it's just a momentary pause.

Link to September 24 Daily Tech post, "Republicans Give Up Fight Against FCC's Net Neutrality".

Excerpt: In the eleventh hour, they backed down, though, thanks to the FCC staff reaching out to them. A Republican staffer stated to The Washington Post, "While we are still generally opposed to net neutrality regulations, we have decided to hold off on the amendment because [FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski] approached us and we are beginning a dialogue."

The real debate will likely occur in October when the proposal is officially presented. It will then go through a regularly scheduled notice of proposed rule making (NPRM), a session in which the ISPs and Republicans will likely push the FCC to relax certain parts of the rules or make changes.
