The Federal Communications Commission may be about to get its first test of its net neutrality rules even before the rules become official. A group of public interest groups Tuesday (Jan. 11) are calling on the FCC to investigate the pricing scheme of MetroPCS, because the broadband service’s pricing tiers may be discriminatory.

The FCC passed three “net neutrality” rules on Dec. 21, preventing Internet services from blocking or discriminating against lawful content or applications services.
