A few things to keep in mind about Net Neutrality ending:
- Net Neutrality is only ending partially, as it will still take time for the final approval from the Office of Management and Budget
- Net Neutrality does not mean you now have to pay a package price to have access to specific websites
- It means ISPs can give internet “fast lanes” to those who are willing to pay for it, and make fair competition and new business more difficult (and other potential shady practices)
- However, because the decision has not been finalized completely, it still may take time before anything noticeable happens
- States have begun to form their own policies on Net Neutrality and lawsuits are being considered
Also, Net Neutrality is becoming a bigger issue for upcoming elections, so please continue to keep Net Neutrality in mind when voting in the next couple of years.
Net neutrality is officially dead today, but the fight to revive it lives on
