Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski's network neutrality proposal has garnered support from labor unions, Web founders like Craig Newmark of Craig's list, some venture capitalists, and cautious support from large Internet service providers AT&T and Comcast. But it is also getting picked apart from many sides. Verizon says the broadband market doesn't need new rules. Public interest groups and a coalition representing tech giants Google and Skype urge that the rules should apply equally to wireless and fixed-wire broadband networks and that they clearly state priority delivery of content won't be tolerated.
