Communications regulators are expected to adopt Internet traffic rules today that would allow providers to ration access to their networks, Reuters reported. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) members Michael Copps and Mignon Clyburn issued statements on Monday saying they would support the proposal laid out by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski early this month, despite some misgivings. The rules would ban high-speed Internet providers like Comcast Corp and Verizon Communications from blocking lawful traffic, while recognizing the need to manage network congestion and perhaps charge based on Internet usage.
