BBC News - Pressure mounts on FCC over net-neutrality changes: "At the time, civil liberty groups said the FCC would have more teeth to enforce net-neutrality rules if it reclassified ISPs as telecommunication services, which are more highly regulated.
A separate letter from more than 100 civil liberty groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, has also been sent to both the FCC and US President Barack Obama.
It read: "Internet service providers should not be in the business of picking winners and losers online.
"But the proposal the FCC is currently considering gives ISPs the power to do exactly that, which is why it must be abandoned."
Protesters are currently camping outside FCC headquarters in Washington ahead of a rally expected on 15th May."
