Senate Dems protest FCC plan for Internet 'fast lanes'

(The Hill): http://thehill.com/policy/technology/205743-senate-dems-protest-fcc-plan-for-internet-fast-lanes

    "A group of 10 senators are asking the Federal Communications
     Commission (FCC) to abandon a proposal that would allow Internet
     providers to create online "fast lanes." The proposal from FCC
     Chairman Tom Wheeler would "irrevocably change the Internet as we
     know it," the senators wrote in a letter to Wheeler on Friday."

Rumor is that Wheeler plans to go ahead with the vote as scheduled despite
calls from his fellow commissioners to delay it.
