The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has invited public comment on aspects of the agency’s Net Neutrality decision, which were
overturned by a recent court decision. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals
remanded key elements of the FCC’s rollback of net neutrality. In particular,
the court decision said the agency must consider how the FCC’s decision affects
public safety, Lifeline service, and broadband infrastructure. The rule making
provides an opportunity for school districts to urge the FCC to provide
protections to ensure that schools and students are not harmed by carrier
decisions to block websites, “throttle” services, and preference their own or
their partners’ online content. Public comments must be submitted on or
before March 30, 2020.
