Marvin Ammori, a lawyer who represents technology companies on internet policy issues, summarizes the recent history of the threat against Net Neutrality and the importance of the related court case in front of the DC Circuit court.
“The neutral and level playing field provided by permissionless innovation has empowered all of us with the freedom to express ourselves and innovate online without having to seek the permission of a remote telecom executive.”
“But today, that freedom won’t survive much longer if a federal court […] is set to strike down the nation’s net neutrality law, a rule adopted by the Federal Communications Commission in 2010.”
