Ajit Pai Fcc Nancy Pelosi net neutrality Trump

Net neutrality gets a second wind. The problem? Donald Trump.

sudshr47March 6, 2019

The latest battle between arch-enemies Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump could be the internet.

On Wednesday, Democratic legislators introduced a new bill in both the House and the Senate that would reinstate net neutrality. It’s called the “Save the Internet Act of 2019.” And, as articulated in the bill’s just three pages, it would overturn the Trump FCC’s rules that overturned the Obama-era FCC’s net neutrality protections. And, it would task the FCC with protecting net neutrality across the country.

Last Congress, we voted to restore #NetNeutrality in the Senate.

Now, House and Senate Democrats are introducing a bill to #SaveTheInternet.

Let’s pass the Save The Internet Act in both houses and make the internet free and open again#SaveTheNet https://t.co/hA3DFkSloZ

‘Save the Internet Act’ would bring back net neutrality, plain and simple

sudshr47March 6, 2019

The net neutrality rules established in 2015 were a triumph decades in the making, but their undoing was rather a quick bit of work. So it is hoped, by Democratic leadership in the House and Senate, that it will be equally quick to nix the new administration’s rules and restore the old ones — via a very simple piece of legislation known as the “Save the Internet Act.”

Congress flaunts its ignorance in House hearing on net neutrality

sudshr47February 7, 2019

It’s amazing, and yet should surprise no one, that this country’s elected representatives can be either so cynical or so ignorant that two decades into the net neutrality debate, the basics still elude them. Today’s hearing in the House saw Members of Congress airing musty arguments and grandstanding generically as if they had just been informed of the internet this week.

sudshr47January 31, 2019

More than a year after net neutrality was essentially abolished by a divided Federal Communications Commission, a major legal challenge supported by dozens of companies and advocates has its day in court tomorrow. Mozilla v. FCC argues that the agency’s decision was not just dead wrong, but achieved illegally.

This week the possibility emerged that the ongoing government shutdown could delay net neutrality’s day in court — but the court was not sympathetic to the FCC’s request that the lawsuit be put off.

As one Congress ends and another begins, many are looking forward to a rebalancing of power — especially in the House of Representatives, which Democrats handily retook in November.

The Supreme Court today offered moral support for net neutrality activists and a soft setback for the current FCC’s agenda by declining to revisit a major case supportive of the 2015 rules. It essentially sets in stone the fundamental legality of those rules — not good PR for the agency that just rolled them back […]
