FTC still considering neutrality issue

The controversial issue of network neutrality is currently being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission, even after Congress recently declined to regulate it, chairwoman Deborah Platt Majoras said. Majoras openly supports the computer industry regulating itself rather than being regulated externally and she suggested that existing laws would already cover companies which unfairly use network services. It's not clear if the new Internet Access Task Force has a solid timetable for announcing its findings, but they did announce that hearings will be held Nov. 6-8, so expect an update then.
