Episode notes
- The Commission voted to move forward on a proposal to reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service, subjecting it to oversight and regulation.
- The final vote on the proposal is likely to happen next year.
- Federal authority over broadband would include regulation of blocking, throttling, and paid traffic prioritization.
- The debate on net neutrality revolves around the conflicting views of treating the internet as a utility versus a for-profit service.
- Regulating broadband like telecommunications is seen as essential for internet openness, consumer access, national security, public safety, and education.
- There are concerns that for-profit entities controlling important internet channels may not prioritize defense issues or potential risks.
- Reclassifying broadband would enable the regulation of throttling and ensure the safety and security of US networks.
- The FCC's authority over broadband is limited, preventing it from implementing measures like banning companies affiliated with adversary states from participating in the broadband market.
