Konflikt 05/10/18 12:27:37 PM #1:	https://gizmodo.com/the-fcc-will-terminate-net-neutrality-on-june-11-1825920287 The 2015 Open Internet Order, which established federal protections for net neutrality and barred internet service providers from blocking or throttling legal content online, will formally cease on June 11, the Federal Communications Commission said on Thursday. When that happens, the agencys new rules, passed by the commissions Republican majority in December, will go into effect. At that point, internet providers will no longer be prohibited from establishing new fees for content creators to have their sites and services delivered to customers at greater speeds. They will no longer be prohibited from censoring or throttling content whenever they see fit, even if doing so only benefits the services from which they directly profit. It remains unclear if companies such as AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon will take immediate advantage of their new-found role as the internets gatekeepersdoing so may provide net neutrality advocates concrete proof of the hypothetical harms that experts say are likely to result from the FCCs decision, endangering efforts to maintain their new power. The FCCs new rules are not yet carved in stone; a legal challenge led by consumer advocates, major tech companies, and smaller ISPs is brewing in Washington, D.C. Although it is likely to drag out into next year, the court battle could result in net neutrality being reinstated as law of the land. Article preview thumbnail Congress Might Actually Save Net Neutrality, If Republicans Can Learn How to Read Polls Democrats on Wednesday officially filed a petition to force a vote in the Senate to save net Read more Whats more, the U.S. Senate is set to vote on a resolution that would cast out the FCCs new rules next week, and though it will require an additional vote in the House, passage would be a significant blow to the FCCs agenda. Should the Senate vote in favor of re-establishing net neutrality, the House would have until early January 2019 to vote on the resolution, which would require a simple majority to pass (218 votes). Moreover, agency regulations eliminated under the Congressional Review Act are not exempt from presidents veto power. Forty-seven Democrats, plus two independents and one Republican currently back the Senate resolution, which was discharged from committee on Wednesday. Only a single additional Republican vote is needed for it to pass. Over 100 U.S. mayors have also signed a pledge to withhold city contracts from ISPs that violate net neutrality, meaning doing so might ultimately cost them more financially than theyd gain by trashing the open internet. All this is to say that while the FCC and big telecom have seized a major victory in the battle against net neutrality, the war is far from finished. Its an election year, and the issue remains only partisan within confines of the Capitol complex. Eighty-two percent of Republican voters support net neutrality, according to the most recent academic study. In a statement, Jessica Rosenworcelthe FCCs sole Democratic commissioner and lone net neutrality supporter following the resignation of Mignon Clyburncalled her agencys decision profoundly disappointing. The FCC is on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of the law, and the wrong side of the American people, she said. Ragnarok is upon us. <cite>Konflikt posted [p:901113345] in FCC will t...

Sad_Face 05/10/18 2:22:08 PM #37:	Over 100 U.S. mayors have also signed a pledge to withhold city contracts from ISPs that violate net neutrality, meaning doing so might ultimately cost them more financially than theyd gain by trashing the open internet. Reading this warms my heart. It's reassuring to know that the fate of the net is not determined solely by the decisions of the FCC. There are forces out there that can check and balance to protect the people. --- imgtc.com/i/4HgTl0ebzq.jpg imgtc.com/i/60CWP2Gtlg.gif <cite>Sad_Face posted [p:901119433] in FCC will t...

It remains unclear if companies such as AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon will take immediate advantage of their new-found role as the internets gatekeepersdoing so may provide net neutrality advocates concrete proof of the hypothetical harms that experts say are likely to result from the FCCs decision, endangering efforts to maintain their new power. I find this curious. It makes a valid point. Being a complete ass as soon as you possibly can can backfire. You have to work your way up to it, encroaching freedoms and consumer rights gradually until you have things the way you want them.
