What’s next for network neutrality? 5 things we learned from the debate ahead of the FCC’s decision
September 22, 2014
[Commentary] Here are five important things we learned during the first phase of the Federal Communications Commission’s network neutrality process, and that will shape the endgame:

- FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler is the wild card
- The tech giants are sitting it out
- Bet on new wireless rules
- Title II is all that matters: The bottom line is that the FCC may impose new wireless rules or demand ISP’s increase broadband speeds but, for the purposes of net neutrality, none of that matters without Title II.
