Net neutrality in the United States In 2005, under Republican Chair Abernathy, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted policies and rules establishing principles of “network neutrality” in order to carry out the policy of the United States “to preserve the vibrant and competitive free market that presently exists for the Internet” and “to promote the continued development of the Internet," “encourag[ing] the deployment on a reasonable and timely basis of advanced telecommunications capability” – broadband – “to all Americans.”. [3] The FCC noted that Congress had cited the Internet's educational and informational importance, and the fact that "[t]he Internet also represents “a forum for a true diversity of political discourse, unique opportunities for cultural development, and myriad avenues for intellectual activity," as well as "play[ing] an important role in the economy, as an engine for productivity growth and cost savings."
Federal Communications Commission On February 26, 2015, the FCC reclassified broadband Internet access as a telecommunications service, thus subjecting it to Title II regulation, although several exemptions were also created. The reclassification was done in order to give the FCC a legal basis for imposing net neutrality rules (see below), after earlier attempts to impose such rules on an "information service" had been overturned in court.
Net neutrality in the United States Upon becoming FCC chairman in April 2017, Ajit Pai proposed to repeal the policies;[14][15] on December 14, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted in favor of repealing these policies, 3â€“2, along party lines, as the 2015 vote had occurred.[16][17][18] On January 4, 2018, the FCC published the official text for "Restoring Internet freedom".[19][20]
Net neutrality in the United States Following this ruling in Verizon Communications Inc. v. FCC (2014), the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) received 3.7 million comments urging it to change classification of the Internet to a telecommunications service, which would allow the FCC to uphold net neutrality. The FCC then changed its analysis, reclassified retail providers of BIAS as common carriers, and adopted revised open Internet requirements. On February 26, 2015, the FCC ruled in favor of net neutrality by reclassifying broadband as a common carrier under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 and Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.[8][9][10] On April 13, 2015, the FCC published the final rule on its new "net neutrality" regulations.[11][12] These rules went into effect on June 12, 2015.[13]
