I’m really glad this is being done, I just hope that it has teeth. It’s going to be very annoying when the next regime from across the aisle tries to repeal the rules again. I assume there’s not an easy way to make these rules permanent. I’m happy to be wrong about that though.
There would be if we had a government focused on consumer protections. Instead we have a House too busy kicking itself in the dick to make laws, and even if they did, the laws would probably PREVENT the FCC from making Net Neutrality rules.
In all seriousness, what has having these laws repealed done? I’m asking because I don’t know.
A shit pie.
Remember that absolutely fucking stupid ad Ajit made about using the net? Awful.
Couldn’t they have done it earlier ? instead of waiting until the elections ?
The article mentions CA still enforcing net neutrality rules. How does that work? Eventually you have to hop outside the state for many services… are those backbones required to abide by those rules or can they still throttle as a result being out of state?
I firmly believe in all data being treated equally for the record and I hope this gets fixed. ISPs were kind of slow on throttling but it’s becoming more and more obvious in the last couple years in my experience.
Literally can’t live without the internet these days. It needs to be a protected utility like any other.
Why did this not happen earlier? It seems there is some intentional delay for political purposes.
The 5th member was only just appointed earlier this month. So, they only just now have a majority. At least, that’s my understanding.
Most internet companies are screwy specifically because the government helped them become regional monopolies in the first place. This will make internet more expensive and worse. What is this even trying to solve? You can get fast internet in middle of nowehere Montana with Starlink at $120/month right now.
