The Federal Communications Commission Open Internet Order is a set of regulations that move towards the establishment of the internet neutrality concept. Some opponents of net neutrality believe such internet regulation would inhibit innovation by preventing providers from capitalizing on their broadband investments and reinvesting that money into higher quality services for consumers. Supporters of net neutrality argue that the presence of content restrictions by network providers represents a threat to individual expression and the rights of the First Amendment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://techcrunch.com/2008/08/31/the-net-neutrality-debate-all-on-one-page/ )〕 Open Internet strikes a balance between these two camps by creating a compromised set of regulations that treats all internet traffic in "roughly the same way". In ''Verizon v. FCC'', the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated portions of the order that the court determined could only be applied to common carriers. ==Background== The United States Federal Communications Commission established four principles of "open internet" in 2005: * Consumers deserve access to the lawful Internet content of their choice. * Consumers should be allowed to run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement. * Consumers should be able to connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network. * Consumers deserve to choose their network providers,application and service providers, and content providers of choice. These tenets of open internet essentially encapsulate the ideas of net neutrality. From 2005 until the establishment of Open Internet in December 2010, these standards existed in name only. In 2009, FCC Commissioner Julius Genachowski revamped these principles by adding the idea that internet service providers may not discriminate against content in any way. After an extensive debate about the viability of net neutrality, the FCC approved Open Internet on December 21, 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FCC Open Internet Order 2010」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
