In a bid to challenge FCC's decision, the state of Montana will sign contracts with those ISPs who adhere to net neutrality
Montana will sign contracts only with internet service providers that honor “ net neutrality ” firms, Governor Steve Bullock said on 22 January, the latest effort by a state to undermine a Federal Communications Commission order rolling back rules introduced in 2015. Bullock signed an executive order requiring state contract recipients to adhere to so-called net neutrality, which barred internet service providers from blocking or throttling traffic or offering paid fast lanes, also known as paid prioritization. “There has been a lot of talk around the country about how to respond to the recent decision by Federal Communications Commission to repeal net neutrality rules, which keep the internet free and open. The FCC order in December said it would block state and local rules that “could impose far greater burdens than the federal regulatory regime.” Last week, a group of 21 US state attorneys general and the District of Columbia, filed legal papers to challenge the FCC’s decision to do away with net neutrality while Democrats said they needed just one more vote in the Senate to repeal the FCC ruling.
