Earlier this week, the Hispanic Technology & Telecommunications Partnership (HTTP) filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is seeking input on whether wireless broadband and specialized services should be exempted from proposed rules that would bar broadband providers from discriminating against Internet content.
