From PRI, Public Radio International and KCRW Santa Monica, this is To the Point.

Regulating the Internet. How much is too much?

I'm Sarah Terry, sitting in for Warren Allney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International,

a daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

The FCC has passed its first ever regulations of the Internet in an attempt to keep the playing field level for everyone who uses it.

But net neutrality may prove to be an elusive goal, just as many of the other promises of the Internet age have failed to be fully realized.

Do we need more regulation of the Internet or less?

Has the Web really allowed democracy to flourish around the world or have repressive governments turned it to their advantage?

On Reporter's Notebook, how Obama's appointees are changing the game at the Supreme Court.

First, the news.

Support for To the Point comes from subscribers of KCRW Santa Monica and from the Public Radio International Program Fund, whose contributors include the Ford Foundation and the John D.

and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. I'm Sarah Terry, sitting in for Warren Allney, back

with To the Point from PRI. We'll be talking about the Internet today and the debate over

net neutrality, the idea that Internet providers should treat all sources of data equally so that

consumers can control what they view and what they use on the web. The new federal regulations achieve that

goal? In the 20 years since the Internet first became a household term, has it accomplished what

technology visionaries said it would? On reporter's notebook, at the Supreme Court, the liberal

wing is coming back to life, thanks to this year's two newcomers on the

bench. First, this news update. Seven thousand canceled flights since Sunday and tens of thousands

of passengers rebooking their travel plans. Airlines are struggling to get back on track after

the weekend blizzard, but that could take days.

My guest today is Brian Matsubah, travel reporter for USA Today. Thanks for joining us.
