The FCC is expected to enact net neutrality regulations later today, and officials are currently holding hearings on the order, which the Times reports would "broadly create two classes of Internet access, one for fixed-line providers and the other for the wireless Net. The proposed rules of the online road would prevent fixed-line broadband providers like Comcast and Qwest from blocking access to sites and applications. The rules, however, would allow wireless companies more latitude in putting limits on access to services and applications." And yet, CNN wonders why no one outside of the FCC has seen the final draft of the order. Officials say it won't be published until "several days" after the vote, but what do you expect—it's just not technologically possible to share this information with the world!
