For Immediate Release
FCC PROPOSES ENDING UTILITY-STYLE REGULATION OF THE INTERNET
First Step Toward Restoring Internet Freedom, Promoting Investment, Innovation & Choice

WASHINGTON, May 18, 2017 – The Federal Communications Commission today took the first step toward restoring Internet freedom and promoting infrastructure investment, innovation, and choice by proposing to end utility-style regulation of broadband Internet access service.

In a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the FCC proposes to return to the bipartisan framework that preserved a flourishing free and open Internet for almost 20 years. First, the Notice proposes to reverse the FCC’s 2015 decision to impose heavy-handed Title II utility-style government regulation on Internet service providers (ISPs) and return to the longstanding, successful light-touch framework under Title I of the Communications Act.

Second, the Notice proposes to return to the Commission’s original classification of mobile broadband Internet access service as a private mobile service. Given the historical innovation and success of the wireless marketplace prior to the Title II Order, this proposal is expected to substantially benefit consumers and the marketplace.

Third, the Notice proposes to eliminate the catch-all Internet conduct standard created by the Title.

I think we have a thread on this already

Can they show any evidence on why this is needed or is it just because?

Spoiler

I know the answer.

Didn't we have this thread already?

 

[Wag]

I just take everything anyone in this administration says as the opposite.

Sorry, I just saw this posted on the FCC website and this is dated May 18th.

God I hope us in Canada can try to keep this bullshit away.

Speak up and donate everyone. This is going to be a long one.

This was dated for today. I think this thread is still relevant unless the original thread was started today.
