Very excited to see that the FCC is set to restore federal oversight over the companies we pay to get online & bring back #netneutrality for all Americans. It's way past time to restore common-sense oversight over the companies that control our access to the most important

The draft order gets released on Thursday & I'm looking forward to diving in to see how the Order addresses issues like state net neutrality laws, privacy, national security & fast lanes.

Harmful 5G fast lanes are coming. The FCC needs to stop them. There's still time to fix this before the FCC votes to adopt its #netneutrality order on April 25. Here are my thoughts: cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2024/04/h…

This has got to get fixed.

On Thursday, the FCC will consider its draft net neutrality rule. I commend the FCC for this step. However, the current version of the rule contains a big loophole that will undermine CA’s nation-leading net neutrality law, SB 822, which I authored. Here’s my letter to the FCC:

Important #netneutrality news: The FCC just voted to bring back net neutrality. My statement: "Today’s FCC vote will restore federal oversight over the internet service providers we pay to get online & bring back federal net neutrality protections, while allowing states to

Big #netneutrality news: Today, the 2nd Circuit upheld New York State's broadband affordability law. The decision makes clear that when the FCC abdicates its authority over broadband, states can protect their residents. The decision is a sweeping victory for New York State and

Breaking: Meta just changed how it sends WhatsApp, Instagram & Facebook data to Deutsche Telekom internet customers. That might not sound exciting, but it's a actually big deal. I wrote about what's happening & what's at stake: cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2024/09/a… #netneutrality

Deutsche Telekom vs Meta 🥊 This battle isn’t just about two companies – it's about the future of the open internet & #netneutrality. If sites & apps are forced to pay network fees, it could lead to higher costs and worse service for everyone. cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2024/09/a…

Follow up: An excellent article by Barbara van Schewick covering the DTAG and $META #depeering. It correctly point out that Deutsche Telecom is simply screwing over their customers. x.com/vanschewick/st…

Klare Stellungnahme von Verbraucherschützer Verbraucherzentrale zur Entscheidung von Meta, die direkte Verbindung zur Deutsche Telekom zu beenden: "Mit einer #Datenmaut hätten Verbraucher:innen das Nachsehen. Seit Jahren setzen sich die Telekom & andere Netzbetreiber dafür ein, dass sie von

This is a super big deal. Read about it from the most engaged legal (and cs) champion of network neutrality (which we old folks know as "end to end"):

"The Meta-Deutsche Telekom standoff in the EU is something to keep an eye on. Meta routinely operates in bad faith on a litany of issues, but this is one policy standoff in which they’re absolutely in the right." Great piece by Karl Bode techdirt: techdirt.com/2024/09/27/met…

Important #netneutrality news: Last week a federal court struck down the FCC's 2024 net neutrality protections. I spoke with NPR's @JmSummers about what this means & what may be next: npr.org/2025/01/06/nx-… (audio & transcript)

Today, New York starts enforcing its affordable broadband law. That means internet providers need to offer affordable broadband plans to low-income people: $15-per-month w/ download speeds of 25+ Mbps or $20 w/ 200+ Mbps speeds. The real Jon Brodkin at @ArsTechnica explains what this

Professor Barbara Barbara van Schewick of Stanford Law School discusses #NetNeutrality in an article in Broadband Breakfast Breakfast Media. She calls a recent US Court of Appeals Ruling "a radical decision". Read it here: broadbandbreakfast.com/law-prof-van-s…

"The FCC can still protect you when you make a regular phone call but not when you use the Internet," said SLS Professor Barbara van Schewick for Breakfast Media in "Law Prof van Schewick Calls Net Neutrality Ruling 'a Radical Decision.'" stanford.io/3Cl8bDq

Important #netneutrality news: Today, the Supreme Court (again) rejected Internet Service Providers' attempt to undo New York's broadband affordability law. The case has important implications for states' ability to protect their consumers against misbehavior by the companies

Here's how we got here: In 2021, New York state adopted a broadband affordability law that requires ISPs to offer broadband plans to low-income consumers at low cost. Last year, a federal court upheld that law, and the Supreme Court denied ISPs' petition to review the case in
