FCC's New Net Neutrality Plan: Has Anything Changed?

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski unveiled an updated network neutrality plan, but how is this different from the proposal the commission introduced in October 2009?

For all intents and purposes, the main thrust of Wednesday's plan doesn't differ too greatly from the October 2009 proposal. move was really more of a legal argument. Genachowski's plan outlines the FCC's legal authority for addressing broadband, though it ditches plans to reclassify broadband as a telecom service.

What did this week's presentation raise?

• More Usage-Based Pricing Coming Soon?
• Network Management OK, But No Specific Blocking
• Wireless still part of the plan, but treated differently
• No reclassification
