Today the FCC leaned towards "net neutrality," which (as I understand it, pls correct me if I get this wrong) means that providers cannot desciminate over the way that their networks are used or what content goes over them, etc. Example: AT&T told Apple that the iPhone couldn't use skype on their mobile network, which won't be kosher if regulations mandate "net neutrality." Hopefully this new tilt will mean lower cost and more innovative internet stuff for us all: "FCC presses for neutrality on internet traffic."
I am always shocked that these sorts of stories don't get more notice in the general public, considering how incredibly important the internet is to most of our lives. How much would it suck if you could only get Comcast sponsored websites through your Comcast internet service?
