[bestbits] Net Neutrality - summary of FCC new rules

[Seth Johnson]

That looks like ISIC.  Thanks.  I'm solid on what the terms mean re
the Internet and the US telecom policy, just looking for what "the
source" is at WTO so I can address what WTO's doing on their terms.
It doesn't seem that there's really a subject-specific cite because
WTO doesn't really deal with what these terms mean for the Internet.
