FCC plans Internet equality rules after court loss

Crain's Chicago Business reports:

The Federal Communications Commission said it will write new rules to prevent Internet service providers from discriminating against websites after a court struck down earlier regulations.

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler said today he will ask commissioners to pass rules that forbid blocking of Web content and ensure providers treat all Web traffic equally — the same goals included in regulations passed by the agency in 2010 and vacated last month by an appeals court.
