Net Neutrality stance argues against FCC rollback
An op ed argues that the FCC's rollback of the 2015 Open Internet Order threatens broadband consumers by increasing federal regulation, hindering innovation and investment. It contends net neutrality as a policy distorts market choices, favors large firms, and that consumers benefit from faster, cheaper broadband with less government interference. It cites data from 2014 to 2016 and contrasts with market-driven outcomes. Jessica Melugin of the Competitive Enterprise Institute is cited.
