Net neutrality will be repealed Monday unless Congress takes action



Senate voted to save net neutrality, but the House hasn't scheduled a vote.

With net neutrality rules scheduled to be repealed on Monday, Senate Democrats
are calling on House Speaker Paul Ryan to schedule a vote that could preserve
the broadband regulations.

The US Senate voted on May 16 to reverse the Federal Communications
Commission's repeal of net neutrality rules, but a House vote?and President
Trump's signature?is still needed. Today, the entire Senate Democratic Caucus
wrote a letter to Ryan urging him to allow a vote on the House floor.

"The rules that this resolution would restore were enacted by the FCC in 2015
to prevent broadband providers from blocking, slowing down, prioritizing, or
otherwise unfairly discriminating against Internet traffic that flows across
their networks," the letter said. "Without these protections, broadband
providers can decide what content gets through to consumers at what speeds and
could use this power to discriminate against their competitors or other
content." The letter was spearheaded by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer
(D-N.Y.), Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), and Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii).
