FCC Chairman Says Net Neutrality Rules Don't Cover Comcast-Level 3 Dispute

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski said the agency's net neutrality rules don't cover interconnection disputes such as the current dispute between Comcast Corp. and Level 3 Communications.

He called the Comcast-Level 3 issue a private business dispute and said he hoped the two companies could work out their differences.

Long-time observers of the interconnection business and framework will not be surprised by those views. Carrier interconnection is about the business relationship between network owners, not end user services.
