Net Neutrality: Broadband Classified as Telecommunications Service
This act aims to classify broadband internet access as a telecommunications service. This means internet providers will be subject to similar regulations as traditional phone companies, potentially ensuring more fair and open internet access for all citizens, without favoring certain content or services.
Key points
Broadband treated as a telecommunications service: Internet providers will have to operate under net neutrality principles, meaning they cannot block, slow down, or prioritize any online content.
Increased consumer protection: New rules may prevent practices that could restrict internet access or increase its costs for some users.
