FCC Chair Proposes Reinstating Net Neutrality Rules Banning Traffic Throttling and Paid Prioritization

  • FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel will propose reinstating net neutrality rules requiring broadband providers to treat internet traffic equally.

  • The rules would prohibit providers from blocking, throttling traffic, or offering speedier access to sites that pay fees.

  • Internet providers oppose such regulations, arguing they aren't needed, but the FCC has had iterations of net neutrality rules before.

  • The Democrat-controlled FCC now has a majority to take up net neutrality after 3rd Democrat Anna Gomez was sworn in.

  • The proposal mirrors 2015 rules, including reclassifying internet service as Title II, giving FCC stronger legal authority to establish robust rules.
