The FCC can do better than its current rules on net neutrality

As I’ve read some of the news coming out of Washington over the last few days about how the Federal Communications Commission is planning to do something new on net neutrality, it feels like we’re stuck in a time loop, arguing the same thing over and over again.

Broadband providers like my company, Blackfoot Communications, support enforceable consumer net neutrality protections. In my mind, that means consumers need to be assured their Internet experience is protected from discriminatory blocking and throttling. We can have those protections, however, without the heavy-handed net neutrality rules the FCC adopted two years ago, which have done little but hurt investment in new networks and created uncertainty for companies like mine.
