Netflix, Verizon get in last word on Internet rules

Companies like Netflix and Verizon are getting in a last word before the Federal Communications Commission circulates its network neutrality rules.

They are keying in on the potential for expanded rules to govern the point of interconnection -- where data is transferred from the backbone networks of the Internet to the last mile, where Internet service providers route the content to customers. Netflix has pushed for network neutrality rules to govern interconnection, while Verizon and AT&T oppose it.
