The US net neutrality landscape is now fragmented and weird
- Tuesday | 8th October, 2019
ITEM: A US appellate court has ruled that the FCC has the authority to set its own federal net neutrality policy. However, the court also ruled that individual states can legally create their own net neutrality rules. As you may remember, after the FCC – led by current commissioner Ajit Pai – scrapped the 2015 net neutrality policy approved by President Obama, a number of state legislatures wrote and passed their own net neutrality rules. Naturally, this is a nightmare scenario for ISPs who much prefer a clear federal net neutrality policy. Either way, it’s a certainty that the net neutrality debate will drag on, though it’s less certain what direction it may go.
