"Information wants to be free," the saying goes.(23)But the debate over net neutrality could define how free the exchange of information is going to be in the future. Net neutrality is the idea that everything on the Internet should be treated equally. That sounds simple, but the issue is a complex mix of technical, business, political and legal questions. In the United States, communication law is enforced by the Federal Communications Commission. Since 2005, the Federal Communications Commission has used four policy principles to guide its enforcement in cases related to the Internet.(24)The policy statement says consumers must be able to get the lawful content, applications and services of their choice. Users must also be able to connect their choice of devices that are legal and do not harm the network. Another principle supports competition. In a speech, Federal Communications Commission chairman Genachowski proposed two more. One would say Internet providers could not discriminate against content or applications. The other would require them to explain how they manage their networks. He also wants to extend all six principles to wireless carriers now that their phones access the Internet. And he wants to make the principles into rules.(25)Next month he will seek to begin the process, which starts with collecting public comment. Chairman Genachowski says a "free and open Internet" must be safeguarded. But providers say they sometimes have to block sites to prevent abuse. There is also debate about the desire of some Internet providers to offer special treatment to sites willing to pay for it. That goes against the custom of treating all sites neutrally.
23. What does people’s debate over net neutrality focus on?
24. What can we learn about the present communication law?
25. What will chairman Genachowski do first?

选项 A、Explain the principles to Internet providers.
B、Make the phones access the Internet.
C、Make all the principles into rules.
D、Collect opinions from the public.

答案 D

解析 行动计划题。本题问的是Genachowski主席首先要做的事。短文介绍了联邦通信委员会主席补充了两条原则,并称他想将这些原则上升为规定,并定于下个月开始该项目,但是首先得收集公众看法。
