Google and Verizon have jointly proposed a "neutrality" roadmap in an effort to define how Internet services should be regulated in the future.

The roadmap suggests that neutrality exceptions be made for wireless Internet access, as well as new services, such as advanced educational services, entertainment and gaming options.

"Crafting a compromise proposal has not been an easy process, and we have certainly had our differences along the way. But what has kept us moving forward is our mutual interest in a healthy and growing Internet that can continue to be a laboratory for innovation," Google director of public policy Alan Davidson explained in an official blog post.

"As policy makers continue to formulate the rules of the road, we hope that other stakeholders will join with us in providing constructive ideas for an open Internet policy that puts consumers in charge and enhances America's leadership in the broadband world. We stand ready to work with the Congress, the FCC and all interested parties to do just that."
