The FCC has announced that it will vote on a proposal to restore net neutrality on April 25, a move that, if approved, it says will"bring back a national standard for broadband reliability, security, and consumer protection."—and why we think PC gamers should support it—and the basic facts remain the same today.
"A return to the FCC’s overwhelmingly popular and court-approved standard of net neutrality will allow the agency to serve once again as a strong consumer advocate of an open internet.", saying it is"thrilled that the FCC is moving closer to reinstating essential net neutrality rules," but there's been considerable pushback against it from some conservative-oriented watchdog groups and think tanks.
The FCC, however, said adopting the proposal will enable it to provide oversight of broadband outages, increase broadband network security and consumer protections, bring back"a widely accepted national standard"—in the wake of deregulation, some individual US states including California, New Jersey, and Oregon adopted their own net neutrality regulations—and prevent internet providers"from blocking, slowing down, or creating pay-to-play internet fast lanes.
