The issue of net neutrality was resolved in December 2017, when the Restoring Internet Freedom Order was adopted at the FCC overturning the 2015 Open Internet Order (OIO).
Key Points:
- The issue of net neutrality was resolved in December 2017, when the Restoring Internet Freedom Order was adopted at the FCC overturning the 2015 Open Internet Order (OIO).
- The OIO led to reduced private sector investment and innovation and slowed down broadband deployment.
- Warnings that it would be the end of the internet as everyone knew it if net neutrality was repealed proved to be false.
- Rather than calling it the Open Internet Protection order, it should be called the Close the Internet Order.
