FCC Moves Ahead With Plans to Reinstate Net Neutrality Rules

  • FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel has proposed restoring net neutrality rules that were repealed under the Trump administration.
  • The new Democratic majority FCC aims to reclassify broadband as a public utility and prevent throttling or blocking of internet traffic.
  • The FCC will vote on a proposal in October, followed by a period of public comment before final rules are approved.
  • Net neutrality requires internet providers to treat all web traffic equally without discrimination or creating "fast lanes."
  • Supporters argue net neutrality promotes competition and innovation, while critics fear overregulation.
