FCC Chairman reportedly revises net neutrality proposal after public outcry

FCC officials told The Wall Street Journal that the revised proposal would aim to stop large internet providers such as Comcast from brokering deals with content companies on special terms, and would seek comment on whether "paid prioritization" — when broadband providers slow access to nonpaying companies' sites and services — should be banned. Also reportedly added to the draft proposal is new language designed to protect companies that require internet access, and a new ombudsman position who will advocate on behalf of startups in disputes, with "significant enforcement authority." - Rich McCormick, The Verge
