Representative Mike Coffman (R-CO) says he’s ready to take action and restore net neutrality protection. The rules were overturned and ultimately expired on June 11th, opening the door for ISPs to control internet traffic passing through their networks as they see fit. Coffman says the bill he’s introducing will create an „internet constitution.“ Reuters reports,
The bill would ensure „no throttling, no blocking, no paid prioritization and oversight of interconnection“ rules between internet providers and backbone transit providers, his office said in a statement.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has been hell bent on removing any restriction and regulations protecting net neutrality. With one GOP member breaking ranks and supporting net neutrality maybe, just maybe, we’ll see more follow suit.
