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FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel has proposed restoring net neutrality rules that were repealed under the Trump administration.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.
