Netflix Warns FCC Of Net Neutrality Loophole

February 8, 2010 · Posted in M&E Daily, Today's M&E Connections 

In recent comments to the Federal Communications Commission, Netflix said the “managed services” portion of FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s open-Internet rules could be a loophole for the biggest Internet service providers to gain unfair advantage for their own applications over those of competitors. “If left unchecked, the “managed services” category could engulf the Commission’s open Internet policies altogether. As such, the Commission must carefully circumscribe the network operators’ ability to exempt certain services from the openness rules by classifying them as managed services,” Netflix wrote in its filing.
