FTC shoots down Net Neutrality, says it is not needed

The Federal Trade commission has now come up with a position on net neutrality. Basically, they are choosing not to regulate at this time, but will continue to monitor the issues that Net Neutrality proponents are concerned about in regard to keeping internet access open and fair.

This is good news to Telecoms who would face more regulation if the Government started regulating the internet. Content providers and consumers will continue to have to be watchful that Telecoms may start giving internet access priority to premium content providers. Overall, this is good news from the FTC in that we really do not need more Government regulation on a problem that is not a problem now, and will probably not be a problem in the future.
