FCC Tom Wheeler has responded to the White House’s proposal for Net neutrality rules by reasserting his agency’s independence in a meeting with executives of Google, Yahoo and other Internet companies following President Obama’s Monday call to action. The president urged the FCC to ensure Net neutrality by interpreting Title II of the Telecommunications Act to govern ISPs.
