FCC Votes to Rescind Net Neutrality Regulations

The FCC has voted to rescind Net Neutrality regulations established in 2015 preventing Internet Service Providers from blocking, slowing access to or charging more for certain content.

Following detailed legal and economic analysis, as well as extensive examination of comments
from consumers and stakeholders, the Commission reversed the FCC’s 2015 heavy-handed utility-style regulation of broadband Internet access service, which imposed substantial costs
on the entire Internet ecosystem. In place of that heavy-handed framework, the FCC is returning to the traditional light-touch framework that was in place until 2015.

The FCC also announced transparency requirements to facilitate oversight of broadband provider conduct and restored the jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission to act when broadband providers engage in anticompetitive, unfair, or deceptive acts or practices.
