WASHINGTON \u2014 The Federal Communications Commission will propose new rules that allow Internet service providers to offer a faster lane through which to send video and other content to consumers, as long as a content company is willing to pay for it, according to people briefed on the proposals. <\/p>\n
The proposed rules are a complete turnaround for the F.C.C. on the subject of so-called net neutrality, the principle that Internet users should have equal ability to see any content they choose, and that no content providers should be discriminated against in providing their offerings to consumers. <\/p>\n
The F.C.C.’s previous rules governing net neutrality werethrown out by a federal appeals court<\/a> this year.
