\"FCC\"<\/a>FCC Chair Julius Genachowski, delivered a speech<\/a> to the Brookings Institute yesterday and he proposed adding two new principles to the FCC’s internet freedom principles: non-discrimination and transparency.<\/p>\n

It is quite likely that you will read excerpts from the speech that will fail to include some of the qualifying language he had regarding non-discrimination: <\/p>\n

This means they [network operators] cannot block or degrade lawful traffic over their networks, or pick winners by favoring some content or applications over others in the connection to subscribers\u2019 homes. Nor can they disfavor an Internet service just because it competes with a similar service offered by that broadband provider. The Internet must continue to allow users to decide what content and applications succeed.<\/p>\n

This principle will not prevent broadband providers from reasonably managing their networks. During periods of network congestion, for example, it may be appropriate for providers to ensure that very heavy users do not crowd out everyone else. And this principle will not constrain efforts to ensure a safe, secure, and spam-free Internet experience, or to enforce the law. It is vital that illegal conduct be curtailed on the Internet. As I said in my Senate confirmation hearing, open Internet principles apply only to lawful content, services and applications — not to activities like unlawful distribution of copyrighted works, which has serious economic consequences. The enforcement of copyright and other laws and the obligations of network openness can and must co-exist. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

FCC Chair Genachowski also called for the principles to apply to all forms of internet access, including mobile, but he also recognized that “how the principles apply may differ depending on the access platform or technology.”<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that these are proposals – the FCC will be expected to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking to invite public consultation in fleshing out the details. As yesterday’s speech indicated<\/a>, there will be an open process to figure out how to implement these principles. This speech is simply the first step in a long process: FCC to create and publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; open consultation; deliberation; ruling. <\/p>\n

While my goals are clear — to ensure the Internet remains a free and open platform that promotes innovation, investment, competition, and users\u2019 interests — our path to implementing them is not pre-determined. I will ensure that the rulemaking process will be fair, transparent, fact-based, and data-driven. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I have written a number of times in the past, the US doesn’t have an equivalent of Section 27 in its Telecom Act, so non-discrimination isn’t enshrined in their environment absent a new explicit rule. Canada benefits from technical neutrality in its legislation, leaving the US to play catch-up.<\/p>\n

Transparency was a key issue raised by many parties in Canada’s Internet Traffic Management Proceeding<\/a>. Improving the information of users has been an issue around the world and we can expect to see improved disclosure by all service providers driven by the marketplace, if not regulation.<\/p>\n

With the CRTC’s ruling on traffic management expected before the end of the year, Canada will continue to lead its neighbours to the south in defining an internet regulatory framework.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
