Rules meant to prevent internet service providers from discriminating against online content might not be the safeguard that schools and colleges were hoping for, as net-neutrality supporters believe the Federal Communication Commission’s new policy might lead to “bidding wars” that could leave smaller campuses without access to a high-speed web connection.
The FCC passed the rules, 3-2 [1], with all three of the commission’s Democrats voting for the measure and both Republicans voting against it.
Republican opponents of net neutrality have long argued that the rules constitute unnecessary regulations for web providers and internet users.
