The proposal by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler was a victory for advocates of “net neutrality,” the idea that Internet providers must allow data to move across their networks without interference. “It is counterproductive because heavy regulation of the Internet will create uncertainty and chill investment among the many players — not just Internet service providers — that now will need to consider FCC rules before launching new services,” said Michael Glover, Verizon senior vice president and deputy general counsel. Wheeler’s plan aligns the former telecom lobbyist and venture capitalist with President Barack Obama, who has called on the FCC specifically to regulate the industry under Title II of the Communications Act.
