Another “Net Neutrality” Bullet Dodged

Internet access - Guess what- the government didn't built that eitherNeil Stevens – RS

As many of us predicted all along, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the FCC’s Open Internet order, which attempted to force “Net Neutrality” on the nation. The Open Internet order was part of a plan claimed to oppose “discrimination” but in practice would hinder ISPs from charging people for what bandwidth they use.

The FCC had previously attempted to enforce such rules illegally, but lost in the Comcast v FCC case. This time Verizon took them on, and the FCC lost again.

Neil goes on to point out that the professional left is not done with this issue, and that the FCC has the leftward leaning inclinations to continue the assault until they get what they want.
