The FCC could address concerns about “fast lanes” by prohibiting non-user directed paid prioritization through Communications Act Section 706, Jim Cicconi, AT&T senior executive vice president-external and legislative affairs, and Bob Quinn, senior vice president-federal regulatory, told FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler’s Chief of Staff Ruth Milkman and General Counsel Jonathan Sallet Thursday, said an ex parte notice filed in docket 14-28 Friday. Arrangements between ISPs and edge providers for other services would be subject to a multifactor test under a “commercial reasonableness” standard, AT&T said. ISPs “would be able to engage in individualized negotiations with edge providers for a host of services, while prohibiting the precise practice that has raised ‘fast lane’ concerns,” it said. The telco said it believes the framework would stand up in court.
