Alan, an ardent smartphone enthusiast and a veteran writer at PhoneArena since 2009, has witnessed and chronicled the transformative years of mobile technology. Owning iconic phones from the original iPhone to the iPhone 15 Pro Max, he has seen smartphones evolve into a global phenomenon.

Last chance to snatch the perfect Mother's Day gift at a discount and get it in time for her holiday!in removing the net neutrality rules from the books. Net neutrality treats all internet streams the same and it prevents carriers and ISPs from charging content providers big bucks to access"faster lanes." Eventually, the public would be expected to pay for faster streaming through hikes in monthly subscription fees.

Michael Calabrese, director of the Open Technology Institute's Wireless Future Project, notes that mobile carriers can't use"network slicing" to offer some broadband customers a guaranteed quality of service for video conferencing from some customers but not others. Standford Law Professor Barbara van Schewick said the FCC's"final order makes clear that the no-throttling rule prohibits ISPs from speeding up as well as slowing down apps or categories of apps.

But what is really needed is legislation to be passed that would make net neutrality a law. Otherwise we could continue to see net neutrality come and go every time a new party comes into power. For example, Net neutrality was created during the Obama era, taken away during the Trump years, and returned under the Biden administration.
