FCC Chair Says “Nobody Safe” If Net Neutrality Undone by Republicans
FCC Chair Says “Nobody Safe” If Net Neutrality Undone by Republicans
📅 - If the Federal Communications Commission's open-internet rule is undone, it could open up companies, such as Amazon.com to unfair competition from ISPs, according to Tom Wheeler, the agency's chairman. Wheeler stated, “Nobody is safe,” in an interview a few days ago before he left office.
With a new administration coming in, one of the fears of Democrats is the reversing of net neutrality by the Republicans. Wheeler does believe it will be difficult to reverse the net neutrality policy adopted in 2015 by the FCC. The current policy keeps companies, such as AT&T and Comcast from slowing down or blocking web traffic of competitors.
It would take a very good reason to get the Courts already upholding the ruling to reverse it. However, back in 2014, Trump tweeted that the decision was an “attack on the internet” and would “target conservative media.”
