Internet Companies Want Wireless Net Neutrality Too

Posted by samzenpus on from the count-us-in dept.

jfruh writes As it looks more likely that the U.S. will impose net neutrality rules on landline ISPs, big Web companies are aiming to get wireless data providers under the same regulatory umbrella. The Internet Association, a trade group that includes Google, Facebook, Amazon.com, and eBay, wants the FCC to "harmonize" the treatment of mobile and wired broadband providers in its net neutrality rules. Wireless providers are fighting back, claiming their networks are fundamentally different.

    They transmit everything through the air. Dragons fly in the air. Therefore they're draconian.
