Biden Administration to Restore Net Neutrality Rules Repealed Under Trump
-
The Biden administration plans to bring back open internet rules known as net neutrality that were enacted under Obama and then repealed under Trump.
-
The previous net neutrality rules prohibited broadband providers from blocking or slowing online services or charging "fast lanes."
-
FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel announced the administration will propose new rules to restore net neutrality protections.
-
The Democrat-controlled FCC will likely vote to approve the new draft rules in October and finalize them next year after public comment.
-
Supporters see the rules as necessary to keep the internet open and fair, while opponents view it as overregulation of broadband companies.
