My understanding is there is new legislation titled "Net Neutrality".
The net is good today - all new legislation or alteration should be entirely resisted.
In 2005, the FCC issued its Broadband Policy Statement (also known as the Internet Policy Statement), which lists four principles of open internet[14], "To encourage broadband deployment and preserve and promote the open and interconnected nature of the public Internet, consumers are entitled to:"
* access the lawful Internet content of their choice.
* run applications and use services of their choice, subject to the needs of law enforcement.
* connect their choice of legal devices that do not harm the network.
* competition among network providers, application and service providers, and content providers.

I can't speak for other countries, but in the United States we currently have Net Neutrality, to some extent.
