Video: The Fight Continues for Net Neutrality

Net Neutrality: The Fight Continues

Posted on: April 12th, 2011


Net neutrality has had its share of ups and downs over the last year. Most recently, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to repeal the FCC’s rules to keep the Internet open. The vote still has to pass the Senate and the President before the order would actually be reversed.

Although WebProNews spoke with John Bergmayer, a staff attorney with Public Knowledge, before the House voted, he said it be “really unlikely” for the FCC’s rules to be overturned. He further explained that he didn’t think the Senate would have enough votes to repeal it.

On Mashable, Ben Parr reports that the President said he would veto the action if it were to come before him.

Bergmayer did say that the opponents to the FCC rules could try to repeal the action through a broader budget deal, which means that the issue of net neutrality is growing into a large political concern.

How do you think this debate will play out?
