The FCC is asking developers to come up with an app, that can run in the background on a mobile device or traditional computer, to notify the users of the app when their ISP is intentionally throttling back on the bandwidth during certain applications. IOW, they're asking developers to come up with an app which will make users aware. Which hopefully will lead to self correcting market conditions, without the government having to get involved.
A broadband speed test isn't quite the same thing.

They aren't demanding I carry any content at any speed.
But they're encouraging developers to make an app to let me know if my ISP is intentionally monkeying around with speeds, which gives me information to use to change to a different ISP who does not do that if I so choose.

The FCC wants to encourage freedom of choice if an ISP is messing around with your speed, Big Nanny Government at it's finest!

Did you bother to even read your own article? I'm guessing a strong no.

Except this isn't a regulation. Do you know what the word encourage means?
