• Verizon Playing Dangerous,Game in Net Neutrality,Battle [telecom]

    It's been awhile since net neutrality has been in the headlines, but
    that doesn't mean the war is over--far from it. In it's renewed
    challenge to the net neutrality rules imposed by the FCC, Verizon is
    citing its First Amendment right to free speech. The argument itself
    seems dubious, but if Verizon wins it could lead to unintended
    consequences it might like even less.

    First, a little background on net neutrality itself. The framework of
    rules developed by the FCC is intended to ensure an even playing field
    for all on the Internet, and prevent Internet service providers (ISPs)
    like Verizon or Comcast from blocking certain content, or giving
    preferential treatment to other content.
