NET ACCESS IN THE WAKE OF FCC VS. COMCAST
[Commentary] In the wake of the Federal Communications Commission's decision that Comcast interfered with "Internet users' right to access the lawful Internet content and to use the applications of their choice," network providers such as Comcast will likely turn to one of two models to manage their networks: metered access or QoS (quality of service). Metered access would give network providers the capability to charge more if you use more. The QoS model would create service tiers from which customers could choose.
