The FCC is looking to tighten the rules regarding the interconnection terms service providers like Verizon ask for to accept bandwidth-hungry Web traffic from third party providers like Netflix, reports Bloomberg citing an unnamed person close to the proposal.
These agreements are not regulated by the FCC and this plan is one of the elements they have proposed as part of their new net neutrality rules that would give the regulator more oversight over the Internet. Telcos and cable operators maintain that they should have freedom on what they charge content providers for accessing their network, while Netflix and others say they should not have to pay these fees.
