Restoring Internet Freedom Order Takes Effect

The Federal Communications Commission’s Restoring Internet Freedom Order, which goes into effect on June 11, 2018, will protect the open Internet that consumers cherish while paving the way for better, faster, cheaper Internet access. The order replaces unnecessary, heavy-handed regulations
dating back to 1934 with strong consumer protections, increased transparency, and common-sense regulations that will promote investment and broadband deployment. The FCC’s framework for protecting Internet freedom has three key parts:

1. Consumer Protections
2. Transparency
3. Removing Unnecessary Regulations to Promote Broadband Investment

Bottom line: The FCC is returning to the successful, bipartisan framework that helped the Internet grow and flourish for two decades prior to 2015. This light-touch approach will protect consumers and deliver better, faster, cheaper Internet access and more competition to consumers
