As delineated in our previous client advisory, the FCC voted 3-2 along party lines to approve its third attempt at imposing Network Neutrality rules. This decision marks a significant change in internet regulation in the United States, aiming to reestablish FCC authority over broadband services to protect consumers, ensure fair competition, enhance public safety, and promote national security.
The rules were published in the Federal Register on May 22, 2024, establishing an effective date of July 22, 2024, for these rules. It is crucial that your organization ensures compliance with these regulations by the compliance deadline to avoid any potential penalties or legal issues.
