Net Neutrality, business data services and new privacy rules for ISP are three FCC initiatives that have profound, lasting effects on your network, your business plans and your profitability.  Join CCMI’s Andy Regitsky and find out the exact status of each, along with a close look at next steps.

Consider the following:

•   Net Neutrality – the DC Circuit Court, to many insiders’ surprise, upheld the FCC’s decision to subject the internet to Title II regulation. ISPs and cable companies are up in arms and vow to take the issue to the Supreme Court. Andy handicaps their odds and details what the landscape will look like if the FCC Order survives the challenge
•   Business Data Services – the FCC’s new catch phrase for TDM special access and Ethernet service – appear to be headed down the same path as Net Neutrality with a new FCC framework that imposes dozens of regulatory hurdles for service providers. Discover the latest twists and turns as Andy details the pros and cons of the FCC Order.
•   Privacy rules –now that broadband access to the internet is governed under Tittle II, the FCC is looking hard at internet privacy rules for ISPs and the new rules likely will differ from those on internet edge providers (that’s the Federal Trade Commission’s jurisdiction). Andy explains the FCC’s logic and why it may get pushback from stakeholders on both sides of the issue.
