It looks like the FCC has no intention of backing down from its Title II approach, which is being considered as the worst nightmare for Internet service providers.
AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications Inc. have been battling the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) over net neutrality rules for a long time. Both telecom giants have even threatened to sue the regulatory body over its new rules.
The FCC has presented a draft proposal to its Committee, and is considering regulating the Internet as a utility under Title II of the Telecommunications Act. It will put the final rules to a vote on February 26. It is also considering the inclusion of wireless Internet service providers (ISPs) under the new rules; wireless providers were previously exempt from the Open Internet rules of 2010.
