AP Explains: What is net neutrality and why does it matter?

NEW YORK — “Net neutrality” regulations, designed to prevent internet service providers like Verizon, AT&T, Comcast and Charter from favoring some sites and apps over others, are on the chopping block. The net neutrality rules gave the FCC power to go after companies for business practices that weren’t explicitly banned as well. ___ WHAT TELCOS WANT Big telecom companies hate the stricter regulation that comes with the net neutrality rules and have fought them fiercely in court. Netflix, which had been vocal in support of the rules in 2015, said in January that weaker net neutrality wouldn’t hurt it because it’s now too popular with users for broadband providers to interfere.
