The FCC is set to restore net neutrality. What it means for the internet

Livemint · 1y

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to vote on reinstating net neutrality, which would classify internet service as a public utility. Net neutrality rules aim to prevent internet service providers from favoring certain websites or creating fast lanes for specific content. Proponents argue that these rules ensure equal access to digital content, while opponents claim they are unnecessary and expand regulatory control. If passed, the rules are likely to face legal challenges from internet service providers. The vote could lead to more regulation at the state level, as the FCC's order does not pre-empt state rules.
