Network neutrality is not dead. The rules proposed by the Chairman, which rightly caused alarm among supporters of an open Internet, are the logical outcome of his decision to use Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act to achieve the goal that we all share – protecting the Open Internet. Fortunately, the FCC has another option: The FCC can reclassify Internet service as a telecommunications service and adopt network neutrality rules under Title II of the Telecommunications Act – rules that are unencumbered by the restrictions imposed by Section 706. To ensure that reclassification does not result in onerous regulation, the FCC should immediately forbear from applying those Title II provisions that are not necessary to protect consumers. - The FCC changed course on network neutrality. Here is why you should care. (Barbara van Schewick / Center for Internet and Society) stanford.io/1inecbF techme.me/HTF8
