 A BILL which will prevent telcos from offering high-speed lanes for video and other services has been approved by the US government House Judiciary Committee. If the bill ever makes it, telcos will have to abide by strict Net neutrality principles. The creation of a bill contradicts another called the Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Act which says the FCC be allowed to decide whether or not telcos can violate Net neutrality principles. According to News.com, the new bill has got backing of some politicians because some members of the House Judiciary Committee feel that the other Bill would take away some of its powers over telcos and give them to the FCC. This will mean that they would not be able to squeeze the affected companies for campaign funds. Those companies would be much more interested in buying a politician that sits on the committee that controls the FCC.
