Obama's FCC Chair Will Propose Net Neutrality Rules


Great news for any users of computers: FCC Chair Julius Genachowski (Barack Obama's buddy) will announce on Monday a push for "net neutrality" rules.

As the WSJ notes, the rules would "prevent Internet providers from selectively blocking or slowing Web traffic, a move that could set off a battle with phone and cable companies that don't want the government telling them how to run their networks."

Unless you're a phone company or cable company, this is a good, good thing.
