Net neutrality is the principle that an internet service provider (ISP) must provide access to all sites, content and applications at the same speed, under the same conditions without blocking or preferencing any content.
A free and open Internet helps prevent unfair pricing practices by ISPs, promotes innovation and drives entrepreneurship. It allows companies to compete on a level playing field when customers want to visit their websites.
In Jan. 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that the FCC cannot classify ISPs to prevent content preferencing, citing a recent Supreme Court decision,
which likely means Congress must now intervene.
Urge lawmakers to ensure that any new FCC rules be carefully crafted to avoid the potential for service providers to pass along increased costs to Small Businesses.
