Resources: FCC Chairwoman Rosenworcel Proposes to Restore Net Neutrality Rules
UPDATED POST (Sep. 27, 2023): ALA Welcomes FCC Chair Rosenworcel’s Proposal to Reinstate Network Neutrality Rules
From a FCC Fact Sheet:
The internet is too important to our society and economy not to have effective oversight. However, in 2018, the FCC abdicated its authority over broadband and repealed net neutrality. Today, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel shared with her colleagues a proposal that would begin the process of re-establishing the FCC’s oversight over broadband and restoring uniform, nationwide net neutrality rules, which would allow the FCC to protect internet openness and consumers, defend national security, and advance public safety.
