Two largest broadband
service providers of America AT&T and Verizon have shown deep concerns
with the regulations announcedby the chairman of Federal Communication commission
(FCC) on net neutrality. These rules indicate towards keeping the
broadband networks open and transparent.
In a Report from CNET an AT&T spokesman said
“We are concerned, however,
that the FCC appears ready to extend the entire array of Net neutrality
requirements to what is perhaps the most competitive consumer market in
America: wireless services”
Here is the crux of FCC
announcement: Make Internet a free and open place. Prevent Internet
service providers from selectively blocking or limiting access to specific
services.
They (AT&T and Verizon)
agree with keeping broadband services open for wired networks since the peak
demands for a resource (Eg: webpage) can be managed. Since the crowding
for same resource develops at a very high rate in case of wireless networks, so
it will be difficult to manage the demands.
Companies like Clearwire have applauded the
regulations. On the whole I suppose it’s the competition in wireless services
market that concerns the leaders (AT&T, Verizon).
