President Trump's top telecom regulator, Republican Ajit Pai, is preparing an assault on rules protecting Net Neutrality, the principle that all internet content should be treated equally.
The head of the Federal Communications Commission is expected to unveil his strategy this week to overturn landmark 2015 Net Neutrality rules, a move that will kick off a new battle over the future of the internet.
The Federal Communications Commission is holding its monthly meeting right now to vote on a handful of new proposals. But right in the middle of one of FCC chairman Ajit Pai’s first speeches, the room broke out on song — he was rickrolled.
Consumer groups and Democrats are fighting to save the rules, which they say prevent companies from playing favorites with websites and online content.
New Jersey has sold off two regional public-broadcasting television licenses for $332 million in a nationwide auction of broadcast television spectrum.
The Republican chairman of the Federal Communications Commission is moving to roll back his agency's Net Neutrality rules, a plan critics warn could deal another blow to online privacy protections.
Now that President Donald Trump and the Republican Party have gutted internet privacy protections, their next order of business is to fast-track repeal of groundbreaking Net Neutrality rules that proponents say ensure "access to social, political, and economic empowerment for all."
