Commonly referred to as “net neutrality” rules, the regulatory impact of these regulations prohibits the blocking of legal content, forbids paid prioritization of affiliated or proprietary content, and prohibits the throttling of legal content by broadband Internet access service providers. This is the ruling the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) recently agreed to review at its Open Meeting on December 14, 2017.
As my staff and I continue to closely monitor this issue, you might be interested to know these rules are regulated by the Administration. This is not something Congress had a hand in.
