FCC will probably reject Obama’s net neutrality plan

Just a day after U.S. President Barack Obama publicly came out in support of net neutrality, asking the Federal Communications Commission to reclassify Internet service as a utility, its chairman Tom Wheeler has indicated he’ll likely move in a different direction, according to a Washington Post report. During a meeting with executives of major Internet companies including Google, Yahoo, and Etsy, Wheeler said he preferred a more “nuanced” solution than that laid out by the President, adding that his approach would not only include some of Obama’s proposals but would also address the concerns of ISPs such as Comcast, Time Warner Cable, AT&T, and more.
