A few snippets

[The FCC has previously concluded that broadband providers have the incentive and ability to act in ways
that threaten Internet openness. But today, there are no rules that stop broadband providers from trying to
limit Internet openness. That is why the Notice adopted by the FCC todays starts with a fundamental
question: “What is the right public policy to ensure that the Internet remains open?”]

[The proposed enhancements would provide consumers, edge providers, and the Commission with
tailored disclosures, including information on the nature of congestion that impacts consumers’
use of online services and timely notice of new practices.]
