The public has now been made aware that the Federal Communications Commission will be voting in December to revoke the net neutrality rules that were championed by former President Barack Obama. This is significant news as it will likely change the way we use the Internet.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai announced that there are a number of new proposed regulations that are being circulated around among the commission today. Essentially, these new rules would replace the Open Internet or Net neutrality rules. The commission will vote on the new rules at a December 14th meeting.
“Under my proposal, the federal government will stop micromanaging the Internet,” Pai said on Tuesday. “Instead, the FCC would simply require Internet service providers to be transparent about their practices so that consumers can buy the service plan that’s best for them and entrepreneurs and other small businesses can have the technical information they need to innovate.”
It is thought that the new regulations will allow for ISPS to have more freedom in their business practices.
