FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski will propose new rules designed to ensure the free flow of information and applications over the Internet. Multiple sources report that he will make the proposals in a speech Monday at the Brookings Institution.
The proposals — upholding a pledge President Obama made during his election campaign to support Internet neutrality — would bar Internet service providers, such as Verizon, Comcast or AT & T, from slowing or blocking content flowing through their networks.
