House Endorses Net Neutrality, but the Outlook Remains Dim
WiredLegislation to restore the Federal Communications Commission's net neutrality rules passed a big hurdle Wednesday. "As this bill now moves to the Senate, millions of Americans will continue to mobilize and will refuse, flat out, to give up until Congress has restored net neutrality and guaranteed an open internet for all," Mark Stanley of the advocacy group Demand Progress said in a statement. The Senate passed similar legislation last year when three Republican senators---Susan Collins of Maine, John Kennedy of Louisiana, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska---joined Senate Democrats and Independents in a 52–47 vote. After years of suing to block the FCC’s every attempt at protecting net neutrality, even the broadband industry now says it favors some sort of rules. “That won’t change, but it does get harder when internet policy clings to the past instead of looking forward to the optimism, innovation and connectivity yet ahead in our broadband-fueled future.” Republican lawmakers have proposed several bills that would ban blocking and throttling, but none are as robust as the FCC's old rules.
