The Federal Communications Commission will vote to restore net neutrality rules, which will reclassify internet service providers (ISP) under Title II of the Communications Act.
The Federal Communications Commission is set to vote to restore net neutrality on Thursday in the latest volley of a yearslong game of political ping-pong. The commission is expected to reclassify internet service providers — e.g., broadband companies like AT&T and Comcast — as common carriers under Title II of the Communications Act. That classification would open ISPs up to greater oversight by the FCC.
Opponents fear that reclassifying broadband providers as common carriers will eventually let the FCC control pricing, which they worry will disincentivize innovation. But the FCC says it will forebear its rate regulation authority as part of the proposal. While a future FCC could undo that, according to Public Knowledge legal director John Bergmayer, it would take a new lengthy regulatory process to do so. “It puts a speed bump in the way of a future FCC,” Bergmayer said.
