Six years ago, the end of net neutrality in the US meant that carriers such as AT&T and Verizon were free to prioritize certain services at the expense of others.
Since becoming taking office in 2021, President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s administration has been trying to reverse that decision and restore net neutrality. Those efforts hit another snag this week when the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to block the government’s plans to reinstate rules that were in place before 2018.
As a result, there will be no change before the presidential election in November.
“The American public wants an internet that is fast, open and fair. Today’s decision is a setback, but we will not give up the fight for net neutrality,” US Federal Communications Commission Chairman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a comment to the Reuters news agency.
