SVTC Luncheon | What to Do a Year After the FCC’s Repeal of Net Neutrality Regulations?
The FCC repealed net neutrality rules just over a year ago, but not much has changed for the average business and home user. ISPs, large businesses, and state legislatures are all actively debating how to regulate ISPs ability to selectively throttle specific vendors and types of services delivered via the Internet. Dr. Reif will explore issues underlying both sides of net neutrality arguments as they affect Valley businesses and residents.
