While <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.publicconsultation.org\/united-states\/overwhelming-bipartisan-majority-opposes-repealing-net-neutrality\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">83 percent of Americans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> support net neutrality and opposed the reversal, broadband providers unsurprisingly supported it. Many said they would not use the repeal as an opportunity to discriminate among internet content &#8212; but now there are no rules stopping them from doing exactly that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The FCC\u2019s repeal is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicknowledge.org\/blog\/broadband-providers-are-quietly-taking-advantage-of-an-internet-without-net-neutrality-protections\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">radical break<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from an almost 20 year bipartisan FCC tradition of protecting an open internet. Some proponents of the repeal argue that a year after the decision, the internet is still functioning &#8212; but that doesn\u2019t mean the internet isn\u2019t changing. Consumers may not have noticed broadband providers making network management adjustments, because they are purposefully small and gradual, but they are crucial steps in preventing an open internet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been several potential net neutrality violations since the repeal went into effect:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/6\/28\/17507322\/best-unlimited-data-plans-verizon-att-tmobile-sprint\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AT&amp;T<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Verizon both torture the meaning of the word \u201cunlimited\u201d by offering multiple unlimited plans. But the more expensive ones are either paired with the company\u2019s own streaming service, or the companies degrade the quality of the video under certain conditions. These practices may give the carrier\u2019s content an advantage in the marketplace over smaller, independent video producers.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-11-08\/sprint-is-throttling-microsoft-s-skype-service-study-finds\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sprint has been throttling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> internet traffic to Microsoft\u2019s Skype service, causing the video quality to be poorer than it should be, which is especially worrisome because Skype is a tool that competes with Sprint\u2019s calling service. These are only two examples of how companies can favor their own content over competitors\u2019 without rules forbidding this behavior.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/information-technology\/2018\/07\/comcast-starts-throttling-mobile-video-will-charge-extra-for-hd-streams\/?utm_campaign=Newsletters&amp;utm_source=sendgrid&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;mc_cid=cebfe51b52&amp;mc_eid=bf11efc24c\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comcast has new speed limits<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> where videos will be throttled to 480p on all its mobile plans unless customers pay extra.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-09-04\/youtube-and-netflix-throttled-by-carriers-research-finds\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent study<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shows that the largest U.S. telecom companies, including Verizon, AT&amp;T, and T-Mobile, are slowing down internet traffic from apps like YouTube and Netflix.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verizon\u2019s throttling of services even affected the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/tech-policy\/2018\/08\/verizon-throttled-fire-departments-unlimited-data-during-calif-wildfire\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Santa Clara County Fire Department\u2019s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> ability to provide emergency services during the California wildfires.

The trends may be subtle, but companies understand that it is not in their best interest to take noticeable, controversial steps as the repeal is being <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadcastingcable.com\/news\/court-outlines-net-neutrality-argument-logistics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">litigated in Court<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and there is talk of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnHendel\/status\/1088839270117376000\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">possible legislation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But if the repeal continues, the way consumers access the internet will gradually change. The need for protections is clear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If companies continue to act without a net neutrality framework, there is a danger that we\u2019ll see an internet structured like cable networks. But this is not how the internet started. Rather, the internet is a place where everyone can have a voice, unlike cable where you either need a hard-to-get carriage agreement or to be wealthy enough to own a channel to deliver your own content. The internet is also where small businesses can freely compete without worrying about getting pushed out by bigger businesses. But providers now have the authority to normalize selling broadband like they sell cable television by deciding which sites individuals can go to and setting price tiers to access more of the internet. This could become a reality &#8212; and it could happen so gradually that consumers might not even notice the full loss of protections and choices (and rise in costs) until it\u2019s too late.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike cable, the internet has become essential to our everyday lives for everything from communication to job postings, healthcare, and education, and we need to guarantee quality and affordable open access to everyone. Reinstating the net neutrality rules is key to preserving the freedom of the internet. Broadband providers have already begun to prove that we cannot rely on them to adhere to their promises to maintain an open internet. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicknowledge.org\/act-now\/tell-congress-to-use-the-cra-to-save-net-neutrality\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congress must act to<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reinstate the FCC\u2019s authority as the expert agency to investigate these anticompetitive business practices and protect consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicknowledge.org\/act-now\/tell-congress-to-save-net-neutrality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16010\" src=\"https:\/\/www.publicknowledge.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/button_take-action_(1).png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In December 2017, the Federal Communications Commission under Chairman Ajit Pai voted to repeal net neutrality rules enacted two years earlier.
