On
Thursday, the FCC’s net neutrality rule was published in the
Federal Register. This was the official start of the next phase of
the campaign to protect the open Internet as a common carrier with
equal access for all and without prejudice based on content (net
neutrality).
There
are multiple fronts of struggle to make net neutrality a reality:
Congress, the courts, states and communities. This is part of a
campaign to create an Internet for the 21st Century that is fast,
reliable and available in all communities.
Polls
show widespread support for net neutrality. Last year, polling found
77% of people in the Unite States “support keeping the net
neutrality rules, which are already in place” and 87% agree that
“people should be able to access any websites they want on the
internet, without any blocking, slowing down, or throttling by their
internet service providers.” The FCC’s net neutrality rule does
the opposite of the national consensus, and if members of Congress
want support from Internet users, they need to reverse the FCC’s
rule.
