28 United States senators are calling for the Federal Trade Commission (FCC) to halt a net neutrality vote scheduled for later this month over concerns about “fake or fraudulent comments.” In a letter to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai delivered Monday, the senators urged him to postpone the decision.
On December 14, the FCC is slated to vote on whether to suspend Obama-era Title II regulations that protect net neutrality, the principle that internet service providers (ISPs) treat all traffic the same. Many experts regard the regulations as crucial for maintaining an open and free internet. The safeguards are supported by the majority of Americans, while telecom companies and their lobbyists argue they hinder innovation.
