 The following show has been approved as being commercially reasonable for all parties. We just don't know what that means. I'm Adrienne Jeffries, and this is 90 seconds on the verge. The internet could be getting a fast lane reserved only for those rich enough to use it. The FCC is considering new rules for internet service providers that would harm a key principle of net neutrality that all traffic should be treated equally. Right now ISPs aren't allowed to give special treatment, meaning companies like Comcast can't decide if data from Facebook is more important than a movie from Netflix. But the new rules would allow ISPs to discriminate between data on the so-called last mile where the network connects to your home. It's a toll that would allow ISPs to tax internet companies for the privilege of connecting with customers who are already paying for the network. All this could be avoided if the government would just declare what most people already take for granted. The internet, like water and electricity, is a public utility. But the major ISPs continue to fight against that label, warning that net neutrality is a meddlesome government regulation. A draft of the open internet notice of proposed rulemaking is being circulated to the commission today, and FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said that he intends to have enforceable rules by the end of the year. Be sure to let your congressional representatives know how you feel about a free and open internet. And while you're at it, give FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler a call. Here's his number. We will not let that kind of control take over the internet. Period. For more on un-f***ing the internet, check out The Verge. Coming up, Disney World begins offering advanced fast passes, allowing wealthier families even faster access to Space Mountain.
