People are now understanding that 'net neutrality' is just 'an Orwellian euphemism for more government control,' said Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr, a Republican.
People are now understanding that " net neutrality " is just "an Orwellian euphemism for more government control," said Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr , a Republican.
The Federal Communications Commission will vote to reinstate net neutrality rules on April 25 and assume new regulatory oversight of broadband internet that was rescinded under former President Donald Trump, FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel confirmed to Reuters. "That's not going to be very neutral in terms of its impact on low-income consumers. Similarly, some people buy what we call data-limited plans. You buy 10 megabits or 20, because it happens to be more affordable than unlimited, all-you-can-eat plans. And the FCC says we're going to look at that, too. We think that might not be neutral to offer data-capped plans, which again could have a negative impact on consumers that are at the lower end of the price point," he added.
Because Democrats did not take majority control of the five-member FCC until October, they were stymied for almost three years.
