With or without net neutrality, the internet will still thrive says Stanford scholar
Following the U.S. Senate vote to restore net neutrality regulations, Stanford scholar Gregory Rosston offers his perspective about the future of the internet.
In December 2017, the FCC repealed “Title II” regulations that classified the internet as a public utility. Under these rules, internet service providers (ISPs) were required to treat all data equally and fairly. For example, ISPs could not favor one website over another, nor could they speed up, slow down or block access to websites in exchange for fees or other reasons.
But as Rosston has pointed out, the definition of net neutrality means different things to different people.
