House and Senate Democrats introduced a new bill to reinstate net neutrality rules, which were killed off in 2017.
House and Senate Democrats on Wednesday unveiled a new two-page bill called the"Save the Internet Act" that proposes reinstating net neutrality rules that were repealed two years ago.
Speaker Pelosi said the bill will come to the floor in a matter of weeks."We want this to be as bipartisan as possible because we know it is so in the public view," she said. In December 2017, the FCC repealed the 2015 Open Internet Order, which required internet service providers to treat all internet traffic as equal and reinstated ISPs under a Title 1 classification that allowed them to set pricing and prioritize some types of internet traffic.
