The Battle for Net Neutrality: FCC vs. AT&T

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has taken its first step towards reinstating net neutrality by voting in favor of a notice of proposed rulemaking. The proposal aims to reclassify broadband as a common carrier under Title II of the Telecommunications Act, imposing stricter rules and oversight on internet service providers (ISPs) to ensure equal treatment of all internet traffic. The public will have the opportunity to comment on the proposal before a final vote is taken. The Biden administration has prioritized the restoration of net neutrality, which was repealed during the Trump administration. Critics argue that the regulations are unnecessary and unlawful, while proponents highlight past instances of ISPs violating net neutrality principles.
