FCC Adopts Net Neutrality Rules (Again) in Replay of Fight Over Internet Regulation
The Democratic-majority FCC voted to adopt an order that would largely restore the agency's net neutrality rules from a decade ago.
As with the original net neutrality rules, the 2024 version reclassifies broadband as a telecommunications service under Title II of the Communications Act of 1996, giving the FCC regulatory oversight of internet providers. “While reviving net neutrality will check a partisan political box, it risks blowing our once-in-a-lifetime chance to get all Americans the internet access they deserve,” NCTA president and CEO Michael Powell said in a statement. It establishes “broad, tailored forbearance — including no rate regulation, no tariffing, no unbundling of last-mile facilities, and no cost accounting rules — in the Commission’s application of Title II to broadband internet access service providers.”
