昨天，美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）批准和发布了其Net Neutrality Rule【FCC Net Neutrality Rule PDF文档】。这个Rule意义很大。说简单点就是你运营商不能拿QoS来整人。也不能因为利益关系不让我们用Skype或者其他的绕过运营商收银子。。。

这个Regulation遭到了共和党的许多反对。。。能否通过是个大的问号。。。

在Net Neutrality【wiki】方面，互联网之父V Cerf是一个坚定的支持者。

从大的方面，大辽国认为，如果互联网被商家和被政府限制，这样玩，这是违法自由的，违宪的行为。

请参阅一些excerpt如下：

I. PRESERVING THE FREE AND OPEN INTERNET
1. Today the Commission takes an important step to preserve the Internet as an open platform for innovation, investment, job creation, economic growth, competition, and free expression. To provide greater clarity and certainty regarding the continued freedom and openness of the Internet, we adopt three basic rules that are grounded in broadly accepted Internet norms, as well as our own prior decisions:
i. Transparency. Fixed and mobile broadband providers must disclose the network management practices, performance characteristics, and terms and conditions of their broadband services;
ii. No blocking. Fixed broadband providers may not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices; mobile broadband providers may not block lawful websites, or block applications that compete with their voice or video telephony services; and
iii. No unreasonable discrimination. Fixed broadband providers may not unreasonably discriminate in transmitting lawful network traffic.
