Network Neutrality has been in the news and has been hotly debated for a number of years here in the U.S. Overall, the language adopted by the FCC is pretty tame in comparison to some of the earlier attempts at regulating this topic.

The Request for Further Comment was published in the Federal Register last Friday, which means comments are due on or before ...
There are divisive issues that separate us at times, and they can turn normally logical, reasonable people into dogmatic, irrational fanatics. Some say it’s the nature of certain issues that they must be seen in shades of gray–that they can be viewed objectively from several angles, thus opposing viewpoints can ...
