U.S. Federal Communications Commission chair Jessica Rosenworcel plans to begin an effort to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules rescinded under then-President Donald Trump, sources briefed on the matter said Monday.
The move comes after Democrats took majority control of the five-member FCC on Monday for the first time since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021 when new FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez was sworn in.
The FCC is set to take an initial vote on the net neutrality proposal in October, the sources added.

How was Pai not arrested for all those fake comments in support?
Codify it into law or it will just be destroyed again the next time we’re stupid enough to elect a Republican.
I agree, but we can’t even fund the fucking government as long as the Republicans control the House.
Verizon would just block it with their corporate veto powers.
They don’t have the votes. I’m sure they would if they actually had a majority any of the last 3 years that didn’t compose “best we can do” folks like Manchin and Senima.
Happy that corporate shill Ajit Pai is gone.
If some websites seem to load significantly faster than others now (youtube, reddit, facebook), it’s because ISPs can throttle or prioritise traffic to certain websites and they do not have to report this information to their customers.
The internet is healing!
Within a short time after Ajit Pai was appointed to the FCC chair, there was an article at Ars Technica about net neutrality being rescinded. The article also detailed the many votes against consumers on Pai’s record. I sent a link to my mother, who voted for Trump, telling her that this was partially her fault and that it affected everyone, not just her.
We have a “no politics” rule, now, instituted by me. Our relationship couldn’t survive otherwise. Just tell me about the grandkids, your pets, the weather. Never tell me how you voted to fuck up the world.
