New FCC Chairman appears to simultaneously endorse Net Neutrality and
letting ISPs crush Net services and consumers

http://j.mp/188F4hr  (Public Knowledge)

    Yesterday, new FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler delivered his first formal
    public address.  After a prepared speech that explained his regulatory
    approach, he moved to a Q&A session.  In that session, he appeared to
    endorse the opposite of net neutrality: allowing ISPs to charge
    websites and services in order to reach that ISP's subscribers.  In
    other words, giving ISPs the power to pick winners and losers online.
    This endorsement was all the more unexpected because it followed his
    explicit endorsement of "net neutrality" and a speech that touted the
    FCC's role in protecting the public interest.
