"Implications of the Reversal of Net Neutrality Rules and Next Steps to Protect the Open Internet"

Krista L. Cox has published "Implications of the Reversal of Net Neutrality Rules and Next Steps to Protect the Open Internet" in Research Library Issues.

Here's an excerpt:

Ultimately, the best outcome for strong net neutrality protections would be for the DC Circuit—and the Supreme Court, should it agree to review whatever decision comes out of the lower court—to overturn the FCC’s repeal of its Open Internet Order. Even if Congress acts under the Congressional Review Act, President Trump would certainly not sign the resolution, making repeal of the FCC’s new order through that mechanism highly unlikely. Any legislative solution in Congress, while it may provide stronger protections than the FCC's new approach, is unlikely to reach the full extent of protections from the 2015 order. Additionally, although states and municipalities can blunt the effect of the FCC's repudiation of net neutrality regulations, this approach offers a mere piecemeal solution that will result in, at best, a patchwork of net neutrality rules that protects users in some states, but not in others.
