U.S. FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MOVES TO KILL NET NEUTRALITY LAWS

ONLY CONGRESS HAS THE POWER TO STOP IT.

Aiming to bulldoze net neutrality rules put in place by former-president Barack Obama, the US’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has proposed changes that would allow ISPs to throttle websites and/or users unless they pay for faster speeds — a change which, critics say, will effectively destroy the internet’s level playing field. While Australia is not required to follow suit, startups and businesses with an eye on breaking into the US market will undoubtedly be affected.
