Cold Weather/ Open Internet

Short Range Public Discussion
“A storm over the Central Plains will move northeastward to the Great Lakes by Tuesday evening.  Cold air over Western Canada will move southward east of the Rockies bring cold air as far south as the Southern Plains.  Moisture will overrun the east-west boundary associated with the storm over the Upper Midwest producing moderate snow from the Northern Plains to the Upper Mississippi Valley/Upper Great Lakes that will move into the Upper Great Lakes by Monday evening.  The snow will become moderate to heavy over the Upper Great Lakes on Tuesday before moving into Ontario by Tuesday evening.  In addition, upslope flow over the Northern/Central Rockies/High Plains will produce moderate snow over the region on Monday morning that will taper off to light snow over the area that will linger over parts of the Northern/Central Rockies through Tuesday evening.”

Net Neutrality
“And as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) considers new rules for how to safeguard competition and user choice, we cannot take that principle of net neutrality for granted. Ensuring a free and open Internet is the only way we can preserve the Internet's power to connect our world. That's why the President has laid out a plan to do it, and is asking the FCC to implement it.”

Protecting and Promoting the Open Internet
The Federal Communications Commission initiates a rulemaking seeking public comment on how best to protect and promote an open Internet following the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' remand of portions of the Commission's 2010 Open Internet Order, 76 FR 59192 (Sept. 23, 2011). In this document, among other things, we propose enhancements to the transparency rule, adopting the text of the no-blocking rule from the Open Internet Order with a revised rationale, and creating a separate screen that requires broadband providers to adhere to an enforceable legal standard of commercially reasonable practices. The proposed rules and the comment process that follows will help the Commission determine the right public policy to ensure that the Internet remains open.
