Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the U.S. adopted an Order for new privacy regulation on providers of BIAS (Broadband Internet Access Service) on 27 in October, 2016. The new rule, with more strict restriction to ISPs to collect, use, and disclose their customers’ information, does not cover edge providers such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc., and it is a hot issue that which operators should be subject to strict privacy regulation in ICT business field. This paper focuses on the purpose and background of FCC’s new regulation and try to reach some suggestion about the issue.
