The prolonged discussion and debate regarding net neutrality rules may end soon. The FCC has decided to submit final vote next month, which would ultimately turn over the existing Obama-era rules. The linked individuals to the upcoming plan have claimed that the decision may dissolve all the regulations.
The Obama-era rules have restricted prominent internet providers such as AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast from distributing unfair web traffic through preferring some sites. However, initiating a new rule set proposition has sparked a debate and propagated two sides. One is in opposition to the new proposal, consisting of the Democrats and tech companies. Whereas, the Republicans and internet providers are in favor of overturning the existing net-neutrality rules.
The FCC had given a sufficient period for submitting comments on the proposed rule set by Ajit Pai earlier this year. With a majority in support of existing net neutrality rules, the official FCC website has gained a record-breaking amount of 22 million comments.
It's time for Washington to regulate Silicon Valley.
