Internet

 Roll Call - The Federal Communications Commission last week said it plans to vote later this month on a draft order that would classify “broadband Internet access service as a telecommunications service,” arguing that is the best reading of U.S. law.  In other words, the rule change would treat internet service like landline telephone service, allowing the agency to reinstate net neutrality principles. That would prevent internet service providers from discriminating by speeding up or slowing traffic to certain websites. It would also mean that internet service providers can’t charge more for or indiscriminately block access to sites.
