It's time for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to act quickly and finally put in place strong rules for internet service providers, or ISPs, to protect consumers' privacy. Unfortunately, when the FCC announced more than a year and half ago its intention to adopt new privacy rules for ISPs, the rebuke from critics was swift. The optimal solution would be to adopt strong privacy rules for both ISPs and websites, but unfortunately, this is easier said than done. Today, the FCC can adopt rules of the road to protect people's privacy only when it comes to ISPs. That means the FCC must act now to finalize strong, new privacy rules.
