internet service provider: net neutrality
Internet providers say they are changing their tactics in the fight over “Net neutrality” with a power shift at the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. The issue pits access providers such as Verizon, Comcast, AT&T and other telecommunications companies against consumer groups and content providers such as Google who oppose efforts to restrict what Internet subscribers can access, based either on how much they’re willing to pay or by the nature of the content or activity.
