"Net Neutrality Under Threat: The Battle for Fair Internet Access"

TL;DR Summary
Critics are concerned that the FCC's proposed rules for Internet service providers may allow harmful fast lanes for certain applications, as the plan doesn't explicitly ban "positive" discrimination. This could lead to ISPs charging extra for faster gaming or specific types of content, as carriers like T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon are testing ways to create 5G fast lanes. The draft order, scheduled for an April 25 vote, rejects the request to ban selective speeding, arguing that the FCC's definition of "throttling" already encompasses a wide variety of conduct that could impair or degrade an end user's ability to access content.
