Has it been a year already since the Federal Communications Commission formally adopted the Open Internet Rules? Damn, time flies when your internet isn't being blocked, throttled or slow tracked.
Happy birthday, net neutrality! A year ago today, after a long and contentious process, the FCC formally adopted the Open Internet Rule, reclassifying broadband internet as a Title II communications service and creating bright-line rules to protect consumers’ and businesses’ access to the internet. But the end of the rulemaking process was only the beginning of another long series of fights. So a year in, what’s worked, what do we still not know, and where do we sit overall?
