The FCC's Big Net Neutrality Day - TechZone360


Featured Articles


I am going to admit to being surprised by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission's (FCCs) Open Internet decision. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler's new net neutrality regime got the headlines it deserved, and not part of the surprise was the partisan vote- the two Democrat Commissioners siding with Wheeler with the two Republicans dissenting.
In what could be a match made in cord cutter heaven, Frontier Communications said it will bundle the TiVo Roamio OTA DVR with its high-speed data service. The device enables customers to view over-the-air (OTA) TV programming and OTT video services.
After months of debate and the collection of comments from four million Americans, the Federal Communications Commission today voted on - and approved - Open Internet rules that implement what's known as Title II reclassification of broadband Internet access. Title II, part of the Communications Act of 1934, gives the FCC authority to regulate telecommunications providers as utilities or common carriers.
Ever since computers started connecting to each other, people have been thinking about how to keep information on them secure. As the Internet evolved, so did the need for security. Enter OpenSSL, an open project with the goal of creating a free set of encryption tools for the code used on the Internet. Without encryption, personal data submitted online becomes fair game for hackers and online fraudsters. With this layer of protection, e-commerce and other important online transactions are much more secure.
Net Neutrality is a concept that's gone back and forth for some time now, polarizing discussions just about everywhere it goes. While some have come out against plans to launch net neutrality programs, others have come out in favor. Recently, the in favor camp got something of a boost thanks to a new blog post from Twitter, where it made it clear that it had faved #NetNeutrality.
Over the past few months, there has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding the broadband industry in the United States due to Title II reclassification of Internet service providers (ISPs), which the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) is considering. Originally intended for traditional telephony, this classification was written in the 1930s, without provisions for broadband and what it would become.
