Sen Markey, others caution FCC's net neutrality ruling could unduly hurt rural America

Sen Ed Markey (D-MA) continued to rail against the Federal Communications Commission's December decision to undo Obama-era net neutrality protections, arguing that the ruling could especially hurt Americans living in rural communities who face fewer choices when it comes to high-speed internet providers. Sen Markey, who is leading a Senate effort to override the FCC's controversial rollback, joined Sen Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and other net neutrality advocates in highlighting the challenges rural Americans could face if the internet does not remain "free and open."
