An official statement by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) made it clear that it plans to redefine the Internet broadband access business as "Category II". This is the FCC's "most powerful" open Internet regulation, clearly "network neutrality", chairman of the FCC, Tom Wheeler, wrote on the wired that Internet services should be equated with public infrastructure,

It is important to use the authority of the second type of business control to prohibit the ' paying priority transmission ', the shielding of legitimate content and service and the traffic restriction.

Earlier, U.S. President Barack Obama also explicitly supported "network neutrality", hoping to create a free and open network environment. Tom Wheeler will try to get the regulations passed on February 26.

The theme of the "net neutrality" debate is "whether to allow network operators to prioritize and pay extra (QoS) for internet company traffic." The FCC and Internet companies, which are represented by Google and Microsoft, believe that all information should be treated equally and that network neutrality can provide consumers with better services. The network operator, which is represented by Verizon and At&t, thinks that "network neutrality" will cause network congestion and affect the quality of Internet services. But perhaps a more pertinent understanding is that they think they spend a lot of human, material and financial resources to build Internet infrastructure, which is disproportionately cost and benefit.

If regulations pass, traditional operators such as Verizon and At&t will face fierce competition with internet giants such as Google for high-speed Internet services. Google is planning to work with two other mobile operators Sprint and T to launch a mobile operator service code-named Nova, a wholesale language service and a data network, and the rapid expansion of Google's high-speed fiber-optic network project by the test-water virtual operator, The future will cover 12 major U.S. cities.

Now it seems that, in the "network neutrality" issue, operators seem to have been "out of the window." Europe passed a bill to protect "net neutrality" last April. Operators are also aware of this, Verizon has also said to stop the construction of fiber-optic cables, to force the wireless service, the sale of its own signal towers, at&t is also planning to provide more than 100 candidates for the gigabit network.

So for those Americans who have been running for "network neutrality" for years, the FCC's official statement is the clarion call to victory, and the Verge author Nilay Patel's article title may represent their voices,

We won the internet back
