RIP Net Neutrality
To the disappointment of many, the FCC reversed their 2015 decision regarding Net Neutrality. “The federal government will no longer regulate high-speed internet delivery as if it were a utility, like phone service” says this New York Times article describing the decision Thursday and it’s effects.
Efforts are underway to send a repeal of this decision to a vote via the Congressional Review Act, headed by New York senator Charles Schumer (D). For more information be sure to see this Reuters article.
