Today is the day that the FCC votes on its new net neutrality proposals, but the internet is abuzz with what the wireless industry may have planned for consumers should net neutrality pass without including some oversight for broadband wireless phone services.
According to information gleaned from a leaked presentation, Allot Communications and Openet (two companies that sell services to cellular carriers) showed off tiered and fee-based access to Web services. This model would let carriers monitor a user's online activity and charge extra for using certain applications, such as YouTube and Skype. On the other hand, carriers with services they prefer would not charge extra when users choose oto use their services instead.
Net neutrality advocates are saying "I told you so" to the FCC as what many feared seems to be turning into a reality even before the proposal comes up for a vote.
