IN THE NEWS: FCC WORKS AT BROADENING OPEN INTERNET RULES

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Communications Commission continues to tweak its proposal to deal with the issue of Net neutrality. An agency official says chairman Tom Wheeler is broadening the scope of the new Internet rules. Among the new proposals would be tougher standards for Internet providers who wish to craft paid priority fast lanes on their networks. For example, one provision would “presume” it to be illegal for an ISP to give favored access to a service it owns. For example, it would be illegal for Comcast to provide faster treatment to video streams of its subsidiary network, NBC.

IN THE NEWS: HOUSE CALLS ON YOUR COMPUTERS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some of us are still pleasantly surprised if a doctor returns an email — or is able to send a prescription to the pharmacy electronically. But the latest effort to bring the medical field into the Internet age would really be a mind-blower: a virtual house call. Patient groups are taking a look at ways for doctors to diagnose simple illnesses, without having to haul yourself out of bed and into the doctor’s office. Dr. Ray Dorsey of the University of Rochester Medical Center is leading a national study of how video visits can be used for those who have Parkinson’s disease. One advocacy group says about 40 percent of Parkinson’s patients don’t see a specialist, in part because they leave too far away from one. Dorsey says patient groups like that could really benefit from virtual house calls.

ON THE WEB: NEGATIVE TWEET GETS NFL PLAYER FINED, SENT TO TRAINING

CYBERSPACE (AP) — Miami Dolphins safety Don Jones has been fined — and will undergo educational training — after sending a negative tweet about the first openly gay player to be picked in the NFL draft. After the St. Louis Rams took Michael Sam in the seventh round, Jones tweeted “OMG” and “Horrible.” The tweets were removed soon afterward. Jones has since apologized and the team has excused him from all team activities until he completes sensitivity training related to his comments.

IN STORES: DISH TO LAUNCH TV SERVICE THROUGH INTERNET

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It’s coming. Dish Network says it will launch an Internet-delivered TV service by year’s end. The programming will be available for mobile devices, game consoles and smart TVs — and will contain live sports, entertainment and children’s programming. The cost would be about $20 to $30 a month — which is a lot less than the typical pay TV package that Dish Network Corp. sells to its 14.1 million satellite TV subscribers. But it also offer far fewer channels. The package is aimed at young adults who want to see sports and children’s entertainment — but are reluctant to shell out $100 a month for TV.
