Since the repeal, broadband service providers have been free to block, throttle, or create fast lanes and slow lanes by charging websites extra fees to prioritize their content. Since the repeal, there\u2019s been evidence of broadband service providers throttling speeds, degrading video quality, and creating service plans that favor their own services over competitors.\r\n\r\nIn April, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1644, the Save the Internet Act. The bill reverses the repeal of net neutrality and restores the framework in the FCC\u2019s 2015 Open Internet Order. The 2015 framework restores the bright line net neutrality rules and gives the FCC adequate authority to act as a cop on the beat to investigate unjust and unreasonable behavior by broadband service providers.\r\n\r\nSenate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has declared the Save the Internet Act \u00a0\u201cdead on arrival\u201d in the Senate despite an overwhelming majority of Americans \u2013 both Republicans and Democrats \u2013 that support restoring full net neutrality protections.\r\n\r\nToday, Common Cause joined its allies in delivering 3.5 million public comments and petition signatures to Senator McConnell in support of strong net neutrality rules. In conjunction, Senators Markey, Cantwell, and Wyden introduced a unanimous consent motion to demand Senator McConnell bring Save the Internet Act to the Senate floor for a vote.\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Declaraci\u00f3n de Michael Copps, ex comisionado de la FCC y asesor especial de Common Cause <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\u201cOne year ago today, the FCC recklessly and unlawfully repealed its net neutrality rules. Since then, monopoly cable and telephone companies have taken advantage of an uncompetitive and unregulated marketplace where there is no cop on the beat to investigate and enforce against potential net neutrality violations. Studies show broadband providers have throttled popular video streaming services, degraded video quality forcing customers to pay higher prices for improved quality, and created service plans that favor their own services over competitors. Verizon throttling the Santa Clara Fire department during its wildfire response is the most dangerous example of broadband providers abusing their power at a time when consumers have nowhere to turn for net neutrality protections. The harms will only get worse the longer net neutrality remains repealed.\r\n\r\n\u201cOutside the beltway, net neutrality is a no-brainer issue. An overwhelming majority of Americans support strong net neutrality rules including 80 percent or higher from Republicans and Independents. Most Americans understand net neutrality is the prerequisite to an open internet where the free flow of information and exchange of ideas is essential for a functioning 21st century democracy.\r\n\r\n\u201cLast month, the House vote to pass the Save the Internet Act reflected the overwhelming consensus for strong net neutrality rules. \u00a0We demand Senator McConnell listen to the will of the American people and bring the Save the Internet Act to a vote in the Senate.\u201d"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
