Friday's approval of the at&t/BellSouth merger has the blogosphere/Internet news community trying to figure out what the impact is on net neutrality. I've posted a link to the FCC news release and the specific net neutrality provisions that are part of the merger approval are quoted at the end of this post.

From the FCC News Release Regarding the at&t/BellSouth merger.  

Net Neutrality
1 .Effective on the Merger Closing Date, and continuing for 30 months thereafter,AT&T/BellSouth will conduct business in a manner that comports with the principles set forth in the Commission's Policy Statement, issued September 23, 2005 (FCC 05-151).
2.AT&T/BellSouth also commits that it will maintain a neutral network and neutral routing in its wireline broadband Internet access service. (15) This' commitment shall be satisfied byAT&T/BellSouth's agreement not to provide or to sell to Internet content, application, or service
providers, including those affiliated with AT&T/BellSouth, any service that privileges, degrades
or prioritizes any packet transmitted over AT&T/BellSouth's wireline broadband Internet access
service based on its source, ownership or destination.
This commitment shall apply to AT&T/BellSouth's wireline broadband Internet access service
from the network side of the customer premise equipment up to and including the Internet
Exchange Point closest to the customer's premise, defined as the point of interconnection that is
logically, temporally or physically closest to the customer's premise where public or private
Internet backbone networks freely exchange Internet packets.

This commitment does not apply to AT&T/BellSouth's enterprise managed IP services, defined
as services available only to enterprise customers 16 that are separate services from, and can be
purchased without, AT&T/BellSouth's wireline broadband Internet access service, including, but
not limited to, virtual private network (VPN) services provided to enterprise customers. This
commitment also does not apply to AT&T/BellSouth's Internet Protocol television (IPTV)
service. These exclusions shall not result in the privileging, degradation, or prioritization of
packets transmitted or received by AT&T/BellSouth's non-enterprise customers' wireline
broadband Internet access service from the network side of the customer premise equipment up
to and including the Internet Exchange Point closest to the customer's premise, as defined above.
This commitment shall sunset on the earlier of (1) two years from the Merger Closing Date, or
(2) the effective date of any legislation enacted by Congress subsequent to the Merger Closing
Date that substantially addresses "network neutrality" obligations of broadband Internet access
providers, including, but not limited to, any legislation that substantially addresses the
privileging, degradation, or prioritization of broadband Internet access traffic.

(15)'s For purposes of this commitment, AT&T/BellSouth's wireline broadband Internet access service and its
Wi-Max fixed wireless broadband Internet access service are, collectively, AT&T/BellSouth's "wireline
broadband Internet access service."
