One of Wheeler’s aides, Gigi Sohn, clarified that the actual rules are only about eight pages and the rest of the document includes the agency’s response to comments received about the proposal.

The document hasn’t been made public because FCC rules bar agency officials from releasing any such documents before a vote. It’s a historic agency practice that has often frustrated interest groups, companies and reporters who cover the agency.
Here's a fact sheet about Chairman Wheeler's proposal, which was available prior to the vote.
"The FCC chairman said that they will be released after the vote."
Secrecy is the beginning of tyranny. This was no private corporation boardroom meeting. The FCC should be dis-banded. No??? Which tyranny do you want to contract with? The ISP of your choice or the ISP that is government sanitized and approved?
I wonder if your fellow right wingers know you think this? Or maybe you think your internet should be fully controlled by your internet provider where they are free to limit what you view. Does that sound like a good idea to you?
The only people limiting what people can view right now, is the government. It wasnt that long ago that people couldnt even gamble online... Legally..
I'm not sure if its legal right now or not, but regarldess, ISP's dont limit it.. despite claims left wing kooks keep making that somehow content is filtered and we need government to save us..
ISP's are NOT limiting your viewing of anything! Stop lying already.
Currently it isn't, but it could without protection. Why do you think a former Verizon lawyer is fighting net neutrality so hard? Have you ever asked yourself that question?
For everything that is throttled, something else gets faster.
Yes, but if you don't want what's getting preferred service than that doesn't benefit you now does it? This would also limit choices since only the large players could afford to pay higher fees in order to get good service. Hordes of personal websites, search engines, and ecommerce sites would have to either deal with slow loading or simply shut down. And we are kidding ourselves if we think that ISPs will only do that to websites. They will then do the same to customers as well.
