Re: FCC This isn't about access to SERVICE. It's about access to CONTENT.
The people are arguing for is that a provider like Comcast shouldn't be able to block or limit access to sites run by Comcast's competitors.
People arguing for this protection basically are looking for a "must carry" provision that applies to these monopoly providers just as it does to video distribution.
IOW (as I stated in another post) you shouldn't have Comcast running say a streaming video site while bandwidth throttling a competitors streaming video site. Without an FCC mandate, this could easily happen to steer customers toward Comcast's revenue generating sites.
